I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We write for those who get the musical jokes. But for those who don't, there is always something else going on. That's why we have such a widespread audience.
I try to write three jokes every day. I don't sit down and write them, it's just things that pop into my head. Then I'll go watch it fail onstage that night.
Things I used to get in trouble for writing at 'SNL,' suddenly other people like it.
I've always written songs since I was a kid - always.
It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore... a lot of stuff people don't even hear.
I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them... I have.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about.
I can't write a joke. I could never write. I do a lot of stories and I call them stories, but they're just comedy recitals on a given subject.
I have to laugh to myself. I don't find it work to write music, because I enjoy it. I'd find an evening of bridge hard work because you have to think like hell, and at the end, you get nothing for it.
