“Writing a song is like - you're writing a song all the time. It's just when it pops out. It's been there all the time. It's not something that suddenly you do it. It's always there. Suddenly, it's in the right mixture inside you to come out. Usually when you're writing on the piano or a guitar, you don't write in lyrics, on their own. To me it's very boring.” WritingSongLike YouGuitarBoringPopsPianoMixtures Author:Mick Jagger

“I have to match wits with the ads. Like, there's pop-ups that, like, move around and you have to chase them like it was a video game or something. And then there's ads where, like, you know, the X to, like, close the ad screen is so kind of small that you can't find it and you have to actually go looking for it. And so I spend all my energy - instead of, like, absorbing what the advertiser wants to communicate to me, I spend my energy trying to figure out how to defeat the ad.” KnowsWantTryingKindMovingGamesEnergyFiguresLike YouDefeatCommunicatePopsScreensWitVideoAdsAbsorbingAdvertisers Author:Terry Gross
“I grew up in the time just when cassettes were waning and CDs were growing. And so mix tapes - and not mix CDs - mix tapes were an important part of the friendship and mating rituals of New York adolescents. If you were a girl and I wanted you - to show you I like you, I would make you a 90-minute cassette wherein I would show off my tastes. I would play you a musical theater song next to a hip-hop song next to an oldie next to some pop song you maybe never heard, also subliminally telling you how much I like you with all these songs.” IfsImportantPlayShowsWantedSongGirlNextGrowingHeardMinutesNew YorkLike YouGrewTasteGrew UpTheaterMusicalHip HopPopsHipsHopsRitualTapeCdsShowing OffI Like YouPop SongMatingMusical TheaterCassettesHip Hop Song Author:Lin-Manuel Miranda
