That's exactly it! An antenna picking up from the ether, and what comes in is not under my control. Knew about Dylan but didn't know about Keith. Thanks.Reminds me of an interview with Bob Dylan on 60 Minutes. I think it was Ed Bradley that asked him about his songwriting process. Bob starts singing some very esoteric lyrics from Subterranean Homesick Blues.
He said do you really think I wrote that ? I pick it out of the Ether.
Keith Richards was asked a similar question and he said I really don't write these songs I'm just the antenna.
I bet that's a feature of really creative people in any medium.
