Please go out and BUY it. It’ll be one of the greatest favors you’ve ever done yourself. It’s called Childhood’s End (On The Road To Mexico). Flip forward a couple of pages and you’ll find its beautiful lyrics in Sing-Along. Drake is letting his hair grow, has just moved into a nine-room house in North Hollywood (complete with three log cabins and a weeping willow in the backyard, did five fill-in days for Fang (who was laid up with a sore throat) on the Raiders’ last tour, is cutting Don & The Good Times, and is now pal-ing around with Harpo. Welcome back, babe! Any of you 16-ers who love Drake may express same by writing to him at 9000 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, Calif.
