#american-songwriting

I feel like I can spiritually stand by the list. But if I want to trouble the entire process, I don't think our task was making a list. I think our task was expanding and re-examining the notion of American songcraft. That, to me, was the root of all the arguments that we made in that room. To the extent that we disagreed with each other, or to the extent that we gave grace to each other, or to the extent that we agreed with each other, I feel like everybody in that room was willing to think expansively about what songwriting is.
