GREG KIHN: `TRAFFIC TICKETS CAN INSPIRE SONGS'

SAN JOSE, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Rock singer Greg Kihn may not have visited the charts since the 1980s but his career isn't exactly in "Jeopardy." These days, Kihn is a morning personality at KFOX radio in San Jose, California -- a job that he says allows him to "see the mic from both sides." Kihn says he still writes songs but admits inspiration can come at inconvenient times -- like the day a cop pulled him over and wrote him a ticket. The cop said something that Kihn thought sounded like the lyrics to a great song and he started writing the tune as the cop wrote the ticket. Kihn will be discussing his career tomorrow on a live web conference at www.astound.com
