It took me a long time to learn how to write a good song.

Bob Seger

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it’s really fun to go there. But they’re not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It’s too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it’s distracting to me.

Challenges Trying Writing
