I thought he was talking to his children there, too, with that "don't leave
me, I need you so badly now..." That's the one that got me. The kids all
leave just as you're having a mid-life crisis and need some real, serious
emotional help. How many couples get divorced about then? It just doesn't
help out.
>Also could apply to the audience, etc.
>Pete exploring the duality of man??? Contradictions??
Absolutely. Pete sees all those mirrors, you know, all the different sides
of every question. He's manic/depressive, too, so I'm sure he runs though
the whole list of possible reactions to any upturn or downturn in his life.
Nothing ever seems to work out for Pete--even the best of blessings have a
painful, ironic twist in the end.

It almost seemed like the flag set him off. From reports, someone threw it
up on the stage and actually hit Roger with it, which might have worried
Pete. I always used to be flowers that people threw, but these days you
never know what it might be.
>By the end, he was hooked.

Same for my experiments. :)

Actually, we've yet to hear from THE QUIET ONE. I keep wondering what he's
working on with all those extended bass solos. Maybe it's just so Roger can
sit down for a couple of minutes before "Won't Get Fooled Again," but then,
maybe it's some project, too. Whatever, he said if there was a new album,
he damn well better have some songs on it.
