What I learned from Woody: 1. Edit your songs and pare them down so that they mean exactly what you want them to mean. 2. Keep a sense of humor even when the issues get serious. 3. Show business is not interested in helping an artist but exploiting them. 4. Find the issue that you believe in and write about that. 5. Live your life as if you think it's important. 5. Write about what you believe in everyday whether an essay or a song. 6. Get involved with working people, OWS, or people who work selflessly on an important cause. 7. Don't forget to jam and share your music with many different people. 8. People have different codes of living, try to understand them. 9. Always respect your music regardless of how well you think it's developed. 10. Respect the music of others if it is honest. 11. Sometimes it's more important to play music than to jabber about ideologies.
