I can write a song about my hero Che Guevara and call it 'Song for Che.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought Cheever was magnificent and that if I could write like him that would be the best I could do. And then I realized that what I really wanted to write had nothing to do with what he was doing.
With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything.
If I write the song, I get to name it.
I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.
I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
I have come up with very creative ideas that really didn't work with the song I was currently composing.
All I want to do is write songs about funny characters I made up.
A song can take you to a special time in your life.
You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.
Che Guevara was a racist.
