Yeah, I just can't believe Pete is still "into it" as far as live shows go. I keep waiting
for his mood to sour.

No way! Ever listen to one of his live solos from the 2000 tour? Of course you
have! Plenty of spontaneity & improvisation there! But I think you're talking about
songwriting.
I suppose Pete's songwriting process varies. Some songs probably happen very
quickly & spontaneously, whereas others take more crafting & thought. But he
keeps saying he doesn't write "songs" anymore - just pieces of music. So he'd
better figure out how to write "songs" again in a hurry!

I'm sure he wouldn't mind sharing some writing credits. Might take off a bit of the
pressure.
