Rounding the turn and heading down the final stretch on The Road to Macworld, featured artist Jonathan Mann talks about his daily creative regimen: creating a song or video each and every day.

Acknowledging that sometimes it is, “OK to suck,” Jonathan talks about some of his best known work and where it has taken him (hint: Steve Job’s “Antennagate” address), how he lives the creative life, and why there are too many love songs and not enough about everything else.
