The Dead Weather Singer Alison Mosshart A Driven Songwriter
. In a video directed by bandmate Jack White, Mosshart says: "I don't remember the first time I wrote in the car, I just notice that when I'm driving - especially on the highway - I just get ideas. "There's something about that monotony and the speed and that weird level of concentration you have when you're driving that leaves a part of your brain open to that sort of stuff. I guess you're sort of amusing yourself because it's pretty boring." As for why she doesn't record her ideas rather than risk running foul of the law, or having a crash, she says: "Here's the thing about tape recording yourself while talking - you never want to listen to it back. So it's better to write stuff down, it's a lot easier to look at." But she doesn't recommend her method to anyone else, adding: "Writing while driving on the highway is one of the most dangerous things you can do. It's sort of like texting and driving, but it's harder. I'm not telling you that you should do this, I don't want you to get in an accident." Watch the video here.
