First; I don't believe that Pete can be advised to do anything.  I never 
viewed Drowned as a suicide song; but ofcourse it all spins on the way 
you perceive the ending of Quad. I always thought of Drowned as a love 
song myself and the adlibs are what I go to the concerts for.  If I 
wanted to hear note for note, word for word the same thing that's on the 
album......Well then save your money and stay home and listen to it.
