There definitely isn't a structure anymore to how I get ideas. A lot of times I'll just write down a phrase, or I'll have an idea that's attached to just a few chords. Other times, it's work.
“Commend a fool for his wit, or a rogue for his honesty and he will receive you into his favor.”
“I got my head bashed in at a demonstration against the Vietnam War. Police were losing control because they were up against a world they really didn't understand.”
