The Halted Clock Video Episode #002: Finding the Kink in Your Songwriting Hose

If you’re not okay with me making triple entendres and elementary school-level jokes about kinks and hoses, you should probably skip this one. I said don’t! No! Don’t watch it! Okay, if you must. But I warned you.

The creative process is like a garden hose: a kink anywhere on the hose—from the beginning to the very last few inches—will keep your songs from bursting forth into the world.

    LOL. Omg. Your video totally cracked me up. Good thing no one was around or I’d have look like a total idiot. 😛 (Well, slightly more so than usual, anyway)

    Best of luck to you as you work out the kinks in your hose! *off to snicker some more*
