Rule of rock songs

Just heard an awesome quote by Mark Nelson of The Shiny Things - listed among his 10 commandments of Rock and Roll: Thou shalt not write songs you can't play drunk.

I'm not one who espouses playing in any shape other than straight - but there is a beauty to the idea of a song that is well written but so simple you could play it drunk. That is most likely a song people will remember and connect with.

The whole list:

The Ten Commandments of Rock-n-Roll!

1. Thou shalt not cancel shows.(Unless you fell out of a palm tree and landed on your head.)

2. Thou shalt embrace your inner dufus.

3. Thou shalt not wear a wristwatch onstage.

4. Thou shalt not age gracefully.

5. Thou shalt not write songs you can't play drunk.

6. Thou shalt not sign ANYTHING while under the influence of weed and 151.

7. Thou shalt not wear shorts onstage. (Unless you're Angus Young.) ~Hot Pants OK!

8. Thou shalt remain hungry.

9. Thou shalt avoid sunshine.

10. Thou shalt not leave gear unattended.
