Pete at HOB
>> From: ODOOLEaol.com
>>The PT HOB review in the 5/1 Hollywood reporter references Mr. T

>>Anyway, I was just curious about this. If anyone can shed any

I was also at the HOB for the 9:00 show. We must have been standing
close to each other. I was also 10 feet away from Pete at the front
(guy w/ black X-files t-shirt). Both my wife and I picked up on his
comments about his marriage. He didn't say that he has been married
only once, what he said was "I was married once". At the end of the
show he also said something like:
"we've solved the question of my marriage and my sexual preferences
and above all, we've established that you like drinking a helluva lot
more than me".
Both my wife and I came away from the show with questions about his
marriage. I came away thinking it was an open question, she came away
convinced that he was divorced.
Another point that no one has mentioned about the HOB show. It was
probably the most intimate show that Pete has ever done. He talked
about Meher Baba and how Baba was still important in his life. He
briefly showed a medallion related to Baba to the crowd which was
hanging around his neck, but tucked inside of his shirt and then went
on to say that the next song is a song about prayer. He then said
that he felt that all music was a form of prayer. That next song that
he played was Parvardigar.
Someone else mentioned how loud and ill behaved the crowd was. What
I'll never forget is in the middle of one of his songs (I don't
remember which one it was) he was bantering with the keyboardist and
seemed more relaxed than at any point of the show. Unfortunately at
that moment, some jerk threw out his cap and hit Pete in the head!
Pete jerked his head back, obviously not knowing if it was a bottle or
something, then realized it was just a cap and kept playing, but the
mood was completely broken.
That whole selfish, out of touch attitude of the crowd really reminds
me of the postings I've seen on this list the last week or so. The
racial comments, and e-mail trashings have nothing to do with what
this list should be about. It makes me wonder if this is just an
"East Coast thing" or the result of what happens when a group of
juveniles get older without growing up. Why can't you look at
somebody like Pete and realize that it's time to get a life?
