Oh man, lives across the road from Whispering Jack himself??
And he'd know Jim Steinman's work for sure. And the way I see it, it's been 5 years since the last large scale John farnham best of, so it's OBVIOUSLY time for the record company to pump out another one :o). The last two have had a great new collaboration on them, so I don't see why the next one shouldn't have a cover of FCOL.
It'd be better than those bullshit "Great Australian Songbook" pieces of crap he's decided to start doing.
