"If, from all the studies scholars have done on creativity, we could draw a composite portrait of a creative person, it would be a caricature, not a profile.We found them early developing a keen sensitivity to experience. Like all of us their first encounters with the world are made up of original discoveries and invention, but long into life, they retain the capacity for childlike wonder.
With every experience they reinvent themselves. Travel becomes especially a way for the child in them to roam disguised as adults.
What's important to them is what they think of themselves, so they're unconventional, often discontented, not always virtuous, and they have a hard time explaining themselves. They work hard, and day and night are the same to them: no more time-bound are they than their imagination is earth-bound. They take risks and are either lucky or bold enough to seize chance when it appears. But almost always, at some crucial moment in their lives, someone else reaches out and says: 'Here...take my hand.'" Bill Moyers

Another song Bob wrote about Suze Rotolo.
4 incomplete songs about a week ago: 1. Cats <3 Comps 2.As the Winter Recedes 3. How to make money as an artist, and 4. JFK song.
When the first third starts to end and you start to look around at all your friends and see a whole lot of disfunction, ask yourself "Are they having fun? Am I having fun" Watch good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. All we can do is laugh at everyone, sit in the sun and die. But when I see your face again, I will not sit in place again. Just laugh at everyone. What else do I have for that song? Does he like me? Does she like me? Is he like me. You think we might be more than just friends. Just laugh at everyone. I don't need your person to say " I don't need your permission" I don't need your permission or your disfunction to say You married the wrong wife you're living the wrong life. I'm talking to you. Yea you. When I see her face again I will not sit in place again. Just make fun of everyone, be a good son and die. I think we might be more than just friends.

Knock yourself out
"He begins by singing to comfort someone else finds himself weighing his own feelings in the process. If the song is about self-worth and self-consolation in the face of hardship, the vocal performance itself conveys much of the journey...and finally, in the repeated refrains that nurture his own approbation, he comes to believe in himself." Hey Matt (Hey Jude at 120 BPM)
