Also, after being flippant throughout the whole article on the subjects of
practicing & performing ("I really don't do it [practice] anymore." & "I can
do this with my eyes shut. It's easy."), he ends the interview stating how,
in life, he now wants to "enjoy  perfecting the talents, skills, & craft" that
he has.

I do enjoy his attitude, however, when he gives interviews to one of these
"guitar-tech" magazines:

	Do you practice?  No.
	How do you warm up before shows?  I don't.
	Still getting a thrill onstage?  No. It's a job.

And while we all know Pete probably isn't as pessimistic as his above comments
seem, his answers are still somehow refreshing.
