I WROTE THIS SONG: Dirty-From start to finish, it took 60 minutes to write this song on a 135 year old farmhouse floor. My guitar from 1929 was out of tune and as life likes it, it accidentally created the main melodic hook for the song “Dirty.” As far as the inspiration for the song… It’s as old as man.
