Nah, Couchgrouch has a solid alibi.... He believes other writers are inferior to him, so he wouldnt see anything he liked

I have seen alot of his hooks on bumper stickers and online, I dont know if thats coincidence. But I tell ya, if you think of a title, I GUARANTEE you it's been done before online. Try thinking of a band name, Ive been looking for a moniker name instead of my own, that I can use if I releae an album, and everything is taken. I lookin for a name like Hottie and Blowfish, or Five for fighting... which is actually ONE guy, he writes awesome pop songs, and whats strange is is a staunch republican, very rare. My own name is boring.

In a nutshell hes not stealing anything.

I have argued with you guys about songs, seemingly forever. Its so basic, I cant understand for the ife of me, how you can argue that a song doesnt matter. Look at the great bands, The Who. In my opinion the greatest rock band of all time. They reinvented their sound and style seemingly every decade. But they had sme chit songs and chit albums too. And they havent released a great song since You Better You Bet, or maybe Eminence front, but those were few and far between.

What is the difference? SONGS. They dont have them. Townshend to me is mindblowing how great of a songwriter and musician he was, but he recently admitted he cant write any more.

Go down the list, Macca, Stones, Who, Elton, Eagles, Bruce, Dylan, AC/DC, James Taylor. they are light years away from their best songs. And recording has gotten better.

The song is still king. I still dial up songs I wrote 30 years ago, trying to bend them and shape them, alot of times i had one verse or one bridge or one riff but nothing else came. By constantly trying to mold them, you get better at it, even if the song can not be finiihed. It makes you better for the next time.

Im a firm believer songwriting is as much perspiration as inspiration.

Then i read your replies, about a performer.... Sony Bono had hits...

Well, I know for a fact how much work goes into it, its taking me hours and hours to get drums exactly how I want them. Im obsessing now, i have an addictive personality... never did drugs, but I cant stop working on this stuff right now. Eventually these dozens of songs are gonna get done, Bucket list kind of thing.

But, you are still a tad strange... but your probably in good company here
