Pete Ham In The Group Was A Very Good Writer. He Wrote The Nilsson Song "without You", Which Is A Seriously Good Song. But The Poor Fellow Topped Himself. He Was A Lovely Bloke, I Can Still See Him Now. It Was A Terrible Loss.

People Think Once You Get Famous And Rich You Move Out Of The Public Sphere And You Have Nothing Left To Write About.

Nothing Pleases Me More Than To Go Into A Room And Come Out With A Piece Of Music.
