This all goes to validate a point I've made, over the years, that EC is <BR>
inconsistent in interviews. He has done this type of thing so many times. I <BR>
think he often responds with the answer he believes the interviewer wants to <BR>
hear. When you read an interview with him, you don't know if the answer is <BR>
truthful, an attempt to end the interview as quickly as possible, or given <BR>
for some other reason.<BR>

Could be something as simple as a faulty or sketchy memory. Some things he is asked about in interviews occurred many, many years ago. And frankly I imagine public/press put a lot more emphasis on the details of some issues than EC does. <BR>
<BR>
Granted some events are more important and thus better to easily remember. That said I suspect there might be some kind of mix up concerning WT as I would think he would remember some of the specifics such as where and when that song was written - but maybe not.<BR>
<BR>
Also could be that both stories are partially accurate. Lyrics written at home waiting on Pattie. Finished putting the actual music to the lyrics at Ronnie Lane's pad? Just a thought............... </FONT></HTML>
