John Mayer writes crap sometimes too
As my own producer, the point of the entire game is to write without questions or fear. If it’s not good, who cares?? I’ll have good songs and I’ll have bad songs in life, but if I fear ‘bad’ songs I won’t be able to write anything from an honest place.
I should be done with this song by mid-week, assuming I stay on point and keep on writing.
from Battle Studies Mid-Action Report by John Mayer.
Almost as though he were responding in time to what I just said, Mayer, one of the better-known songwriters of our day, points out that being great takes a while. Not only does he force himself to write — knowing all too well that a certain percentage of what comes out will be crap — but even the bad stuff takes more than a couple hours to put together.
