That rings a bell in my head. Its as if I have been playing the guitar since I was a kid, just so I would be ready to deliver the lyrics of person X to the world because they are so undeniably grand. (never are)
And I think to myself...I got my own lyrics and enjoy writing them. So, what is in this relationship for me other than to have been a footnote in the climb to fame of lyricist X?

Some of these folks seem to believe that being that footnote is such a wonderful thing that I will be compelled to take it. And they have gotten a little prickly when I passed.

I've been in bands where the same thing happened...usually the lead singer. At this point in my life, being at home with a guitar and a DAW is more rewarding than any of that type of thing. Hours of enjoyment and nobody there to ruin it.
