Wow! I'm (almost) speechless! One of my favourite songs from what might actually be my favourite Sparks albums. What a heroic undertaking! You've made my afternoon!

met him a couple of times - i asked him how he wrote and he said mainly by keeping a notebook by his bed and writing as soon as he woke from a dream. “suppress the intellect” were his sage words of advice.

Thank you. This is new information and I will duly investigate! x

Thanks for reading it Ian! Hope all is well with you! xx

Thank you Eamonn! x

Did he really? I had no idea.!

Thanks so much for listening in Joshua. Totally agree about De La Soul. x

It was literally a book and a half. Thank god I found a publisher – perhaps the only one – who understood that it would only really work at that length.

Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Thank you so much Eamonn. xx

Personally I'm not sure eight months is long enough. But obviously, I'm no expert!
