So I was reading in Smithsonian Magazine the other day this profile on Roseanne Cash by Ron Rosenbaum.
That's Roseanne, daughter of Johnny.
It's a great article about love and physics and songmaking. Which means it's about me and you and what it means to live and create in this world.
One of my favorite parts in the article really speaks to me right now, when I am working working working to get a story just right:
Then she remembers something her mentor told her about songwriting. John Stewart "always said, 'Where's the madness?' You know, if I would try to write a perfect song. 'Where's the madness, Rose?'"
Wishing all you your own brand of madness, whatever your creative endeavors!
Well, love John Stewart, so it must be good advice! Really, I will remember this Irene. It certainly makes me think. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've used this quote for ages but have been trawling the we to find where it came from!
