sound this is good, let s go off to france. why not? it wasn t the honky chateau that elton john had used. the chateau sounds absolutely gorgeous, doesn t it? beautiful building. great grounds and gardens, ponds, and fountains. no. it s nothing like that. it was a half built castle, to central easing, nothing. and it was a dump. we seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. not a happy place to be. it was really kind of decrepit. i think it had been used to make porn movies. this was not right, but because it was a contract, we just decided to plow on through. we were going there to mix a live album. but also we were getting song ready for our new studio album, which would be our follow-up to children of the world. and we got a call from robert.
