This interview is fortuitous for me as I'm just starting to dabble in songwriting as a hobby.

It's fascinating to read how differently people approach the process. Bach is said to have started with the bass line. Rush started with melody and added lyrics near-last, as did Pink Floyd. To start with lyrics would be a whole other dynamic. In Billy's & Tom's success, it's evident they made that kind of process work well.

The '80s was a wonderful era for music, with my grandkids preferring it's tunes over current releases. Given the breadth of creative ideas within this artist's playlist, one can understand a reason why.
