That word businessman again.
Gregory you said
"Let me ask you Couch. How many radio hits have you had? How many songs have you gotten placed with major artists."
You do not need to be a top songwriter to appreciate or criticise other peoples music. From the tone of your posts and the people you site as heros Gregory I kinda get the impression that you are obviously more interested in making money than producing great music. Nothing wrong with that but to some folk it is not the be all and end all.
At the beginning of this thread I posted lyrics written by Jason Blume. As yet nobody has justified these as great lyrics. I have nothing personally against the man I just think he is overrated and put on a pedestal he does not quite deserve. Yes he has had tremendous success in different genres but I am half way through reading his book and have listened to his records and viewed his lyrics he does not impress me much.
The point that is being missed here... any FAN of music can rip into anything they want to... they can SAY whatever they want without much depth being put into it. Again it''s about learning to seperate things....But when you yourself refer to yourself as a song writer or musican or a pro or want to be a pro or dreamed to be a pro.... whatever it is, Then you have to be smart enough too look at your self before letting go with critisism. If you are professional critique whatever that's worth, that's one thing, if your a fan or non fan that's another. But as a musician or songwriter we should all think a little differently. Jim don't think much iof Jason's lyrics and I bet you Jason wouldn't think much of Jim's either. But you'll never know that for sure right? We have the convinence of judging his but ours goes unseen by him. Jim - I don't like those particular lyrics, but maybe he has a great or CATCHY melody. You have to start showing something here pal  All we have seen from you so far are well written humerous style lyrics, And a bunch of Cover songs on your soundclick. Are you a fan of music who dabbles or are you a songwriter, a musician I know you sing or used to sing.. What are you doing? Can you even stay in a room with the people who you think aren't very talented? These things you hav eto ask yourself. This is what is gonna get resepect from your peers : ) Love ya anyways lol....
