Divine inspiration, random occurrences, ideas born from dreams. . .what are we to make of creative ideas that come to us in unconventional ways? Joy and Teresa look at famous examples of great works of art born out of dreams, then attempt to gain an understanding of how the supernatural can impact creation. The exchange leads to a practical discussion of ways artists can quiet the logical part of their minds and allow creative flow to the forefront. In Rabbit Holes and Recommendations, Joy talks about Paul McCartney’s book, “The Lyrics,” and Teresa has been listening to Thom Yorke’s “Dawn Chorus.” In a rare podcast role reversal, Teresa is in charge of this week’s Gen X flashback segment, and dives into the lost art of album covers and memories of prog rock.
