I teach songwriting at UCLA extension and at The Songwriter's School in Burbank. And I write the lyrics for musicals- I have the second longest running Off Broadway Musical of all Time called "Naked Boys Singing!" Yes they are Naked!!! But it's actually a very sweet show- but yes they are Naked. That makes me feel great- All due to you!!! Funny how life works isn't it. I am kinda cheeky in my lyrics-- This version of "Hungry Man" is actually a parody of "Hungry Man"l by Bobby Troup (great writer- look him up) I did it to ape all of his songwriting technique and I was in a kind of "Monster Mood"! I had a lot of fun with it. Well, everybody in LA has day jobs. I think Meryl Streep has a day job-- she probably cleans chakras in Venice. You find people with too much disorganization and offer to find people to buy the clutter around the home. I remember we sold all my LPs, Laserdiscs and assorted CDs to this young guy-- who then hauled it away in his spanking new BMW-- he may have been 19 but he was a rich kid! God bless him!
