Guests sometimes have to reschedule due to unforeseen events.
If someone told you a sentence in your letter sounded funny, you d probably be thankful for the comment and reevaluate the sentence. But if someone told you a stanza in your song sounded funny, most people would feel defensive. This is very understandable, because songs can be personal, but try to keep the defensiveness to a minimum. Keep in mind that the vast majority of criticism offered by people is meant to be constructive. Try to feel the same way if someone mentions your lyric is confusing as if they said your car needs waxing or your tree needs pruning.
