Nothing weird. It’s how creative minds, for one, work. My kids were brutal this way. Their parents too :). I had a few very basic rules that I was ready to explain, like if your friends come over and I’m out, if they bring booze and drink and get into a crash DWI, we’ll get sued and we’ll lose the house. Then I said we’ll be home around 8 or 11

Literally said just turn on the mics and you’ll make a million bucks
Key to the Highway fades in because if this. The producer walked into the studio and asked if the mics were on. No. We’ll turn them on! Now.
Clapton and his band were in charge of the music. It’s why Layla album is still in circulation. And it was not a hit at the time it was released.
My dad was an absolutist; “Because I said so”
That was never good enough for me.
