Dad’s now being all weird and private about it. All caught up on how his idea needs to be protected. Whatever…

Have you ever thought about how many ideas die because people are afaid of not getting credit for their ideas?

I thought about that with some of my songs. At first I was so worried about the lyrics being stolen–can’t possibly post them online. But you know what? Even when you have a an excellent final product, you can barely get people to take notice, so having a half baked idea is not really all that vulnerable. If you can’t even get people to pay attention to something that is qualitative, then what’s all the worry about protecting the idea of something? I think it’s egomania myself.

Ken, I was just talking about you at dinner this evening, Ken. My dad had some idea about website layouts (can’t remember what), but it reminded me of you. I was saying that he should talk to you about his idea.
