Davey,

I wasn't advising against it, I was just saying that I personally don't like to hear the motivation or the story behind it. I don't like hearing things like, "This song was inspired by my latest failed relationship" or "I wrote this song during my latest tour, or "this song helped me break out of writer's block, " or "this is a song about twisted love" or "this is about a love gone wrong" etc.

Although I don't mind a very brief dedication to individuals or groups, I really don't want to hear why they are dedicating it to them or the story behind it before I hear the song. I prefer to learn about it in the song itself. Why someone wrote it is not important to me, the song itself is.
