“The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience.” PeopleKnowsDoeTwoIdeasCountrySometimesSongThreeSoundAudienceKnow HowWrittenRocksStrangePopsContemporaryAppealsThemeFascinatedRock Music Author:Ryan Adams

“I don't think of poetry as a 'rational' activity but as an aural one. My poems usually begin with words or phrases which appeal more because of their sound than their meaning, and the movement and phrasing of a poem are very important to me.” ThinkingImportantSoundMovementActivityRationalAppealsPhrases Book:Waltzing Again: New and Selected Conversations with Margaret Atwood Source: Waltzing Again: New and Selected Conversations with Margaret Atwood
