It's hard to force creativity and humor.
When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.
