I'm trying to write a song tonight. I have the basics with the music and the melody, but I still need words. The problem is that I'm hearing the song in my head and it sounds like Brooks & Dunn when I'm trying to sound like Gram Parsons. So what is happening is that lyrics about the flag and my pickup truck are popping into my head and this is not what I'm aiming for.

FU Brooks & Dunn.

.

I hope that's not it. This is a line that just popped in my head:

the flags of our fathers, blows above our heads

NO. NO. NO.

(And if Brooks or Dunn is reading this, you cannot have that line. Get your own trite and stupid material)

I hear narcotics helps for this sort of thing.

This is true. It is widely believed that Jimmy Hendrix would've sounded just like Billy Ray Cyrus if he hadn't been stoned all the time.

Trying to specifically write a song that sounds like someone else?

At least you aren't pretentious about it and won't admit it.

You mean will admit it?

It is a poorly worded double negative.

Ahh.
