Hospital Stay Inspires Creative Breakthrough: Michelle Blood's Secret to Songwriting Magic

I was in the hospital and people were putting on cassettes of audio books and of positive thinking people. And for those that are young, Google audio cassettes. And I always had my little cassette player with me because if I ever had a song idea, I'd have to sing it onto the tape so that I would remember it because otherwise your short term memory just you have creative ideas. It's like, oh, what was I thinking? What was the chorus? And I thank Mick Jagger for that because when I read in Rolling Stone many moons ago that that's how he ended up writing Satisfaction, he woke up in the middle of the night, he the chorus, he's going to go back to sleep. And he went, oh, no, I'm going to forget it otherwise. And he quickly just sang it onto a cassette player and went to Keith Richards the next day and they wrote it in 10 minutes.
