         I suggest we do it...not all of us, obviously, but it would be quite
nice to see the likes of Tag and Peter Miller and Roddd and everyone else I
can't think of having a chapter each, and then the Duke writing a chapter that
flatly contradicts all the others. I couldn't stand seeing some egomanic NME
journo cashing in, with a badly researched glossy, stuffed with old reviews
and press releases.
         Actually, I get the feeling that if anyone's going to write a book,
it'll be the band themselves. And I'd much rather read some beautiful lies
about Dishwashers and All night cafes than about what really happened
anyway...

Then she said:
<<I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd
with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it
is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S.>

I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm producing a play based on Nick
Drake's life. Only names & details are changed, 'cause I don't want Gabrielle
Drake to sue my arse off. I've called the main character Sebastian, and the
love interest Belle, obviously, and as a result, the play's getting more and
more B&S by the second, which wasn't really the idea...
Anyway, if anyone's got any good ideas, please e-mail me, as it's looking a
bit shite at the moment. And if anyone wants to help ( he said desperately)
please look at my production company's site:

Right. Plug over. Sorry Honey.

PS, Are you still writing that P!O!P! book Duke? I'd love to buy a copy.
