When I'm writing, sometimes it gets to that place where I feel like the piece is writing itself and I'm trying not to get in the way. ↗

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate. ↗

Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way. ↗
