what is your opinion about having opinions in an opinianated way?
my opinion about the person (1) who calls another person (2) 'opinionated' is that person 1 tends to actually have the stronger opinion. the word 'opinionated' should not be considered fair play, in my opinion

What is the secret to lyrical goodness and grammatical correctness?
the secret to lyrical goodness is how it combines with the music. the secret to grammatical correctness is to align your speech habits with those of whomever wrote the most prevalent dictionary of your time. these 2 subjects: [lyrical goodness] and [grammatical correctness], often have nothing to do with each other

you'll have to figure out who and when 'you' is. you have already been back in time, but if you want that to be any different then you will have to parcel out a separate 'you' which is still experiencing the forward trajectory against the rest of the world being in reverse. then in fact all hell breaks loose

there might be some interesting stylistic nuance that he's conveying, but, regardless, you aren't perceiving it. so i think it's probably important for the two of you to start talking about how you communicate, so you can understand each other better

what is the most ordinary place
medium
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html
Why do you think that books are kind of put on a higher "intellectual pedestal" than tv/movies?
they are older. so they are a step or two higher up the formality chain. if you live long enough, you can indeed watch many of today's media formats get pedestalized just the same way, in comparison to whatever comes after
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html
I feel like there's a positive connotation regarding someone who reads a lot of books (well-read, learned, smart, etc.) whereas someone who watches a lot of tv/movies might be seen in a more negative light (tv/movies rot your brain, the person is lazy, etc.).
ya, that notion rapidly becomes archaic
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html
I can imagine parents being mad at their kid for sitting around and watching tv or movies (or internet videos) all the time... but if the kid was reading books all the time, the parents would probably brag to all their other parent friends "Oh, Little Timmy is such a smart boy! He loves to read!"
if anyone still actually thinks that (and i personally just assume no one does), the amount of levels on which that's archaic is mindboggling. among other things, it fails to account for the fact that 99% of reading is not done on paper books. younger generations in fact, in personal communications, tend to heavily favor the text message over the voice call. so who's reading now
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html
I think, at the core, books or movies or television or even video games... it's all just different forms/mediums of storytelling? I don't understand why one medium is considered intellectually superior to others?
whatever's been established longer will be more firmly accepted at any given time. i imagine when books were first invented, they probably were often viewed as a corrupting and harmful influence on society

Why is it that I can stand in front of at least tens of people, plus a camera, and sing to them without panicking but I am shaking at the thought of making a phone call. Like, what the fuck is wrong with me??

important Q (can't seem to find the answer anywhere; lots of disagreement): what are sharps and flats called collectively? "accidentals?"
that indeed is what they are called, when they are not in a key signature. so when you have to put them next to the notes as they occur, those are called 'accidentals'. Almost as if you....... 'accidentally' want a note that's not in the key signature, even though you surely did it on purpose. When it's in the key signature, set up at the beginning of the song, i don't think they are called accidentals. they are just called sharps and flats. With key signatures, sometimes i personally refer to adding or subtracting sharps or flats as 'degrees' to a key signature (in order of the circle of fifths), but that is probably not a widely accepted term for that, especially because it collides with other musical uses of the word degree

Now that i think about it, it's possible that i was unintentionally influenced by an existing tom-bob swap that's already out there: tomcat==bobcat

What would you consider the second chord of "a horse with no name" to be?
it sort of ought to be Bmin7 with the bass player each time choosing where to go like a wandering horse in the desert. however, as i actually listen to it, i am mildly underwhelmed to find out that the bass just sticks to F# pretty much every time. also another small thing i notice about the actual recording is that there is high E string also during that chord, so therefore i suppose you can call it Bmin11 over F#. it's a real specific guitar voicing, so you might as well throw it on TAB in fact

1. I think that most artists make art for themselves, first and foremost; to ease their minds, because they can't help it, because it's just plain fun etc. Do you agree? Are you like that? 2. But sometimes art is surely made with others in mind, right? In what way (if so) is your creative output connected to its reception by other people? (I see this page and your whole website as part of your creative output, I imagine that's how you understand it?)
i don't know of any way to reliably predict 'what' would lie outside the realm of what i like but inside the realm of what others like. in that case, i might as well be painting with colors i can't see. so that's why i think you'll find that most artists discover that the only thing they can do is just do what excites their own self
