Yes, I would have liked more, especially as it started at 6am Sunday here in eastern Australia and I set my alarm for it.

But I found the following comments interesting:

"I have terrific overlap ... I've only plagiarised myself 3 or 4 times."

(When asked if he would write his autobiography) ... "My record is in the songwriting." (I remember the late Peter Allen saying something very similar.)

(The main reason he wrote the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck) ... "It wasn't getting enough attention."
