I believe the time will come when the whole definition of pop music will change. It will get to the point where a song will not be a good song until it has a high level of creativity in writing and performance. In other words, in order to be popular, songs will have to meet these high standards.
If I get an idea I put it on tape and somebody else writes it out.
I play piano, by ear. Yes, I write songs... and good ones.
I can read and arrange, but I can't write.
