I don’t think I’m in any position to say what my “best” songs are. That’s for other people to decide, right? I will say my favorite songs I’ve written are, thus far, “Time Machine GO!” and “Wake Up David Bowie”.

In re: my inspiration, it can come from anywhere; incidents in my life, a movie I’ve seen, a book I’ve read, scientific principles I’m interested in, etc. Not all my songs are 100% autobiographical, but there is an element of me and my life in everything.

And as for my story: it’s not completed yet. It’s still being “written”, as it were. None of our books are closed until the end. Right up until the last breath is drawn.
