Nope you should do whatever makes you happy, I don't know every popular song that ever was so I can say I know ever popular song that ever was, I know every song because I LOVE music especially popular music.

Just last week or so my brother in law was in town and over for a visit. He was talking about pop culture and music and said "well ya know there's a big generation gap between the 40's and the 70's even more so then the 70's to now it seems"
I mean who listens to Benny Goodman and Led Zeppelin"?

My wife looked over and said "ah Mike does, yep that lunatic over there:)" He said "no really? So not only do I show em the CD's but then the DVD"s and movies...

What Dolly said EVERYONE says.. that's an old line and yes I spend all my time on my music as well. But EVERYONE listened to someone, that's just a fact.

On this "forget the whole songwriting idea" you keep mentioning it like you been wanting to quit and looking for an excuse.

It doesn't consume your entire life, well thank heavens for that.
It can be a very very lonely and depressing road...
Do whatever makes you happy, live! But know this, it does consume the lives of your competition if your planning on facing off with them someday.


Thanks!
Peace Mike
