Absolutely excellent example. This anecdote was told
(in the Feb. 94 Playboy interview, right?) in the context
of Pete discussing how unintentionally revelatory (and
simultaneously long-winded) his interviews can be.
Keith's response is perfect in its ambiguity: it simultaneously chides
PT's pretension, and offers friendly, genuinely useful advice to a
longtime colleague on Things Not to Do in interviews, from a master.
I *love* this story, and had forgotten it.
