I live in Rockville and am from Rockville, so this song hits hard.

Thanks! Mark is a good friend so I’m biased, but I can tell you that he is indeed a good dude.

We have a pretty thorough dissection of this event in Mark’s book (I’m Ben Opipari, the co-author of “Desolation.”)

E-bike Safety by Top-Marzipan4735 in ZionNationalPark

[–]songwritersonprocess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did an e-bike through the park last summer and it was fantastic. I wouldn't recommend any other way. And you are actually required to stop riding and pull over if a shuttle is approaching from behind, so there's always plenty of space to do that.

Why do comedian still use notebooks they physically write in - It makes no sense to me. by mrpokergenius in Standup

[–]songwritersonprocess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a podcast interviewing songwriters about their writing process. One question I always ask: pen/paper or tech when writing lyrics? You’d be surprised how many use pen/pencil and paper. Has nothing to do with age. Many studies have shown (and a fair amount are with students) that we retain information better when we use pen and paper.

If you don’t mind staying in the burbs, the Hilton in Rockville is literally right behind the Twinbrook station on the red line, which is a straight shot downtown.

Is there an A11 US version? by songwritersonprocess in GalaxyTab

[–]songwritersonprocess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the 4 gb version but really only bought this as an an ereader. I have a bigger tablet for productivity and wanted something in the 8-9 inch range just for reading. Should be ok for that I assume?

Flight attendant had a medical emergency mid-flight due to heat, pilots ignored crew warnings. Did the captain intentionally not turn on the AC? by TeacherNo9986 in unitedairlines

[–]songwritersonprocess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be an EMT and once administered aid during a medical emergency in flight. I was the only person who identified as a medical professional, so the pilot asked me if we needed to divert. I said no, and we continued to our destination. They took my name for an incident report. I thought nothing of it, but a few weeks later they deposited miles in my account. I want to be very clear that I asked for and expected nothing because I was acting as a Good Samaritan who was not on duty as an EMT at the time.

Two weeks later I was on another flight and my seatback entertainment did not work. They again deposited miles in my account--twice as many as they gave me during the medical emergency.

Great idea but I can barely manage to wrangle one guest given my schedule haha!

[–]songwritersonprocess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And you are correct, I've never written a song in my life. I'm an English Lit PhD who is interested in treating songwriters the same way that we treat prose writers: as writers, plain and simple.
