these people make me throw up in my mouth a little.. The last person you want songwriting tips from is an A&R agent.
It is perhaps short sighted to make such a generalization. People who have helped artists craft and sell tens of millions of cds and have extraordinary performing and writing careers have an enormous amount to offer. If you are lucky enough to have a truly talented A&R rep or great producer who will tell you the truth and help you through the writing process, the chances for success go up a thousand fold.
