Indeed. I know a whole lot of talented songwriters that are ugly as sin and
can barely keep from reaching for the auto-tune (including yours
truly)....but I, and they, would gladly co-write the next Avril Lavigne
album if it meant getting out of low-rent housing, not driving a 1986 Toyota
Corolla, and eating Kraft Dinner 5 out of 7 nights a week.
Bring it on.
