Are you thinking it's an invasion of privacy because Pete has such a 
recognizable voice?  It's not like he would be anonymous, even if they cut 
his name out.

Actually, Pete would likely have given permisssion for the tape to be used 
as a matter of public service.  There's an interview around where he talks 
about his hearing loss and how he did it (recording while drunk) for 
organizations that work to prevent it.  There's also an interview where he 
says his family wishes he would shut up.

You'd gather that the way Pete spills his guts during interviews as well as 
during songs might be a little embarrassing to them.  Do keep in mind that 
whatever Pete says is only how he feels at that moment.  Tomorrow, of 
course, it won't be true at all.    ;)
