“A musician’s guide to building a stress-free, nourishing creative practice.” Ezra Klein interviewed Jeff Tweedy of the band, Wilco, about his creative practice. Tweedy talks about how he usually gets better creative results when he is just playing, than when he is trying to create something specific, like a new song. This discussion presents a strong case for the benefits of making time for artistic and creative practice.
