Exploring Your Creative Genius

This week’s show wasn’t planned. I was pulling into WCHL’s parking lot when the fellow scheduled to arrive in 15 minutes to be my guest called to say a family emergency prevented him from coming.

This week’s guest is Paul O’Connor, a former political columnist and professor in UNC’s Journalism School, speaking about his new book “The Missing Child.”

In this week’s show I shared nearly a dozen quotes from Picasso and Emerson and others on various aspects of being creative.

In 1703 Andrew Fletcher, a Scottish politician and patriot, wrote “If a man were permitted to make the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.”
