I can't believe no one caught my hilarious addition to his essay. I guess it's a testament to the absurdity of some of his sentences that the bogus ones don't really stand out that much.

I can see the absurdity and pomposity, but it's basically a noble, honest-seeming essay. He doesn't elevate himself so much as examine the manner in which he knows he elevates himself (while also elevating himself, but that seems inevitable). I find it hard to "create" without struggling with a conflicted sense of my own greatness/failure, so I can accept his descriptions of the process at face value. I guess I only mean that I can relate, though I'm not a Celebrity Rock Artist.
4 sentences, 3 beginning with "I", 6 uses of the word "I".

I studied other writers’ methods. I took hundreds of pages of notes on the creative process, mostly from Nietzsche, but also from Goethe and Stravinsky.
Stravinsky influence really shows in "Hash Pipe".

"Island in the Sun" lyrics could be ripped straight from the pages of "Faust".
