The First I Heard Of The Beach

Uh... What Can I Say? Made Money. Given A Launch Pad For A Working Life. Set A Precedent I Had No Interest In Following. Created Expectations That I Was Not Cut-out To Match. Disappointed Virtually All Of My Readers Subsequently. But I Like What I've Done, And I Stand By It All.
