lyric writing
i usually write lyrics off the cuff, but sometimes its cool to get songwriting ideas from reference books. i have a nice collection of reference books, but my all time favorite is my American slang dictionary. it's like 4 inches thick and has thousands of pages of historical american slang. (you'd be surprised how long some slang swear words have been around...)
anybody out there have a favorite reference book they use?
also, any good songwriting books that you'd like to mention?
