Ray Davies from that old classic rock band The Kinks, has found new inspiration for songwriting…..get yourself shot!!

Ok I am going to keep trying to get inspired, by more "traditional methods". Mkay?

"Davies dove for cover, but took a bullet in the leg, breaking it. Davies says he eventually came to look on the incident as another incentive to continue recording — though he doesn’t recommend getting shot to songwriters looking for source material."

P.S. The how to Write a song blog does not recommend nor condone the get yourself shot writing method nor any other form of personal abuse songwriting methods…that should appease the lawyers.
