Who do you prefer – The Beatles or Stones? Tom catches Christopher off-guard with a new game as he puts Christopher on the spot! We learn that he loves Joni (we knew that) but Journey?… not so much. We’ll also continue with our epic tribute to songwriting! Elton John talks about writing with Bernie Taupin. George Michael explains how the craft of songwriting is a reward even greater than fame. Taylor Swift reveals how specific details from her own life can make her songs relatable. Mick Jagger explains the beauty of creating a song from nothing. Alanis Morissette talks about how pain can drive her work. Neil Finn of Crowded House gives us a songwriting tutorial on his tour bus Smokey Robinson gets spiritual Sarah McLachlan explains how she faces her fears when writing And cranky old Billy Joel objects to being called the p-word. We also hear from Carole King, Janet Jackson, Pete Townshend, Burton Cummings, Lou Reed, Michael Stipe, Eddie Schwartz, Ian Thomas, Don Henley, Chris de Burgh and Serena Ryder. ADDED BONUS! We talk to Christopher about his brand new album “Same River Twice”, which comes out on May 28.
