Dylan's name comes up all the time. never seen Jason's. Last year's article in American Songwriter had many interviews with classic writers concerning their influences. Dylan was mentioned by several writers...Jason wasn't.

Ande, does Jason teach a course in business(networking etc) or a course in how to write a good song. In the area of songwriting, I only suggest anyone being asked to shell out good money examine the "teacher's" own work. I would think any such teacher would welcome the examination.



Hi Couch

I thought you were replying to Mike D and this post above...

I was just responding in general to this thread and too many others like it and mainly to Big Jim as he's always at the head of these posts smile

I can tell the difference between Jason Blume & Bob Dylan and I can recognize what each ones talents are. And admire them both, of course I personally favor Dylan (duh) and I don't own songs from Jason but give Jason Blume tons of credit.

You sound like your saying he should look at his own work before giving advice and teaching others? Is that what your saying?


Thanks!
Peace Mike
