during my rookie times I was better. I also got Doormatt to laugh while he was in class when I posted a baby sucking on the teats of a cow.

Is there a bigger illiterate in America making big money than Colin Cowherd? I've listened to him struggle to say what % 1/3 is on radio today.

I don't have any go-to's I kind of float through links on things other musicians point me to and dig deeper once i've seen whatever it is they wanted me to check out.

DD, when you were starting off with your music, what were your influences? as a kid what as the first ever song you ever learned to play with your guitar? :reporter:

Well my dad was kind of a rock historian who found a way to get a job driving new corvettes from Seattle to San Diego and it was the 60's so he could follow bands while he did that. He was at the summer of love and saw some very historic concerts minus woodstock (west coast guy). Check out Altmont keyword 'angels biker" and Monterey Pop. So my influences were really like Van Morrison Stones, The Doors, Crosby Stills Nash, Warren Zevon, and Jackson Browne on pop's side and kenny rodgers, waylon jennings, eagles, Elton John, and roy orbison on mom's. My own era would be Freedy Johnston, Tool, JJ Cale, (specifically unsigned java joe era Jason Mraz- f him post signing), Cars, Neal Casal, Hannah McEuen, Gwar, Todd Hannigan, Shades of Day, and Matthew Sweet... to name a few. Also... i made a living off of writing hip hop in the early 2000's and love Latyrx, Jurassic 5, Cool Kieth, Del the Funky Homosapien, Blackalicious, Chronic Dre, Doggy Style Snoop, Cypress Hill (minus the rocknroll album), and Pharcyde.

I wrote a song of my own before I ever covered anyone (it sucked), but First song covered on guitar was nothing else matters (Metallica) and last dance with Mary Jane (Petty). which... i have a deal with the engineer doing metallica's next album and it starts in 3 weeks. I'm thinking about totally barging it and watching as a total dork from the control room because it's a live album in studio which they have never done and I'm really curious. If I do I'll post some pics and details, but this studio is now the most advanced in the world and it's pretty wow even for a jaded old rocker. Metallica's will be the first to cut there.

I'd be honest DD. of all those artists you've mentioned I can only name probably 5%.

you did write hip hop songs for those artists? wow. if I may ask, how much do you earn per song? do you get royalties if someone else performs it/makes a cover?

speaking of Metallica, I didn't like their Grammy's performance with Lang Lang (?). piano seems lost out there. he was great but I didn't just get the point of doing it with him.
