I read Q the other day. They have an interview with PG.
Interesting facts are...

Next release "Passion" a double album/CD/whatever will contain material
from LToChrist and other stuff, like expansions on LToChrist. Expect
a "Birdy" release, i.e. just instrumental.

He is planning to start working on his next solo album ASAP.

He is going to slow down on the Benefits/Live-Aid things, he feels he has
spent enough of the last few years doing that, and doesn't want to become
a "Benefit Whore" (Those are his own words!)

Also, he has sunk a good/huge bit of his fortune into a recording
studio, built from ground up. He has founded NEW WORLD RECORDS, or
some such organization. The studio is designed so that a guest can
record wherever they want, whenever they want. In the bedroom, porch,
outside, etc. He even went to the point of building the thing with
ceramic ductwork, so to avoid "negative ions" caused by metallic ducting.
If this flops (studio and record company) he'll be in it deep for a
while.

New for me, he divorced his wife of XX years, and is now hanging around
with Rosanna Arquette. So right now he's divvying time between the
Studio&Record company, making his own stuff, and Rosanna.

Weird news! from RStone. Apparently PG helped Donny Osmond record
a single, or some such thing. The article talked with DO, who said
that PG made it clear that he wasn't a fan (of Donny's swill)
(Last bit in parens is mine).

Enought for now.

"No luck - no golden chances,
 no mitigating circumstances now.
 It's only common sense -
 there are no accidents 'round here.   (PG #4)"
