Well, yeah (not sure how to spell that sarcastic "yeah" that sounds something
like "kshyaaww" & is spoken with a "valley girl" accent), of course he doesn't
need the money, but the fact is he's now kinda got himself backed into a corn-
er to where he *has* to attempt that new Who studio album. That's the reason
I sense some uncomfortable squirming from Pete.

Oh, I'm honest alright. Sure I'll buy it when it's released (good Lord willing
& the creek don't rise). I bought that last SCOOP, didn't I? Pete's already
sold me to the fact that much of what he writes is intriguing & inspiring. I'm
here for the whole ride, no question.
Hopefully, Mark, we'll get to play some fooseball again this Summer. :-)
