You hit the nail on the head Brian.....cowrites can produce some great songs and some great partnerships and team efforts....the key words are mutual respect and same amount of skin in the game....yes the prospect of paying top dollar to have your name alongside a proven songwriter sounds like sleaze to me....from both sides......who could hold their head up and say I cowrote a song with so and so......of course I paid him for the privilege....and what great songwriter could take any satisfaction from becoming a songwriting prostitute.
