Re-reading Jeff Tweedy’s How to Write One Song
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL30180106M/How_to_Write_One_Song lately, and not only is it fun to hear from one of the musicians that has been in my life for a long time, but I kept coming back to the several times he said if he wrote a song, it was important that he “wasn’t hurting anybody.” And certainly music could be used to hurt. But I think it’s far more important to use it to heal, help others, or share. He’s clearly thought about this and it’s one of his ethical choices in life.
