I definitely wouldn't say *never* throw things away - some things really do belong in a waste paper bin, or the metaphysical equivalent! The difficulty comes in recognising the absolute trash from the stuff that's simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And can I again make a plea for distinguishing between writing a song and performing it? The two activities really are quite distinct. I can write a song about anything, in any style, at any time, for any reason but it really doesn't follow that that song should ever be performed outside my own private space.
