As quoted in &quot;Will you still love me tomorrow?&quot; by Rachel Louis Snyder in Salon (19 June 1999) http://www.salon.com/people/feature/1999/06/19/king/index.html <br class="br">Kontext: I&#x27;m a songwriter first, have always been, and probably always will be. Making the demo is a natural product of writing a song; after that, I&#x27;m happy to hear other people do it in other ways.
