I associate my experiences of creative success with times when I keep my eggs in exactly two baskets. With one basket I don't work efficiently or have fun. With 3+ baskets I neglect a basket. Two projects seem to balance the discipline and fun so creation occurs.
I'm also enjoying the comedy validation of "if people laugh, we've proven the concept." You don't get that from serious rock. There's no place in my world anymore for serious rock.
