I was going through the songs I've written so far this year, and I came to a shocking discovery. A couple actually. Firstly, I discovered that contrary to what I like to believe when I'm feeling sorry for myself, I've written some pretty kick ass material in the past four months. Secondly, this somewhat goofy song I wrote entitled "Honesty Creeps People Out" is perhaps the best thing I've ever written in my life. The melodies are far and away beyond what I'm normally capable of. If you're curious, it's posted, along with the lyrics, here. You should listen to it.

But here is the problem with that song and a few of the other really cool things I've written this year. They are WAY too personal and incriminating to be worked into my stage show or recorded on records. I found out that if I write songs about me being a scum bag and a pervert, I can dish out some amazing stuff, but then I'm never going to want anyone to hear it. What should I do about that?
