I don't know how he does it.

Apparently he saves up from the concert where he didnt' bother to do an
encore!

He certainly didn't when I saw him. There was some good guitar work hear and
there, but most of the time Ritchie failed to impress.

The music on the album is OK but do you like the naff lyrics too ? Makes me
cringe some of it.

The lyrics can range between good and "umm...". They're not particularly

Between corny and naff, I'd say. By far the best songs are those written by
