So, you came off “the road” in 1974. 40 years ago. And you are a font of knowledge on the music business, and songwriting?
That makes you what, 75-80 years old? Unless you came "off the road" in your mid 20s, in which case how much noise could you have made on "the road"? Shouldn't we all know you? Lennon, McCartney, Wilson, and Bob?
