Kevin, you're not.

I have been listening to Quadrophenia over and over lately, loudly (as 
usual). Pete has touched something very personal there.  I got the usual 
cleansing chill when I heard the three piano notes over and over at the 
beginning of Love Rein O'er Me followed by Keith's cymbal wash then boom -    
 "Only Love... "   This to me is Pete's deepest, highest writing and music on 
record.  That song is the peak.  This song is a song of care. It is the 
search that ends with finding God.

 In this life some of us are smart. Some of us are dense. Some of us belong, 
some of us feel we don't.  The fact of the matter is, it does not matter.  We 
all need Love.  We were created with this basic need and It is there for the 
finding. 

I appreciate Pete's sensitivity much more than his powerchords and I *love* 
them. He is an honest barometer of what goes on inside of most of us.  I 
appreciate that he has let us see into his heart so much.  That comes at 
quite a cost to him, I bet.

He has a dark side and so do all of us. He is brutally honest at times and 
seems uncaring an cold.  But he is very real.  

When I hear his music I hear someone that knows that things should be far 
better than they are, and will not let go of his seeking.  We all need the 
rain.  It rains on everyone of us wether we are sharp or dull.   I am glad 
that God is not a respecter of persons. 

Jimmy, did they accept you?  Did you fit in? Are you good enough?  Does 
anyone really care about you? Did you find anything that fits inside of you 
yet?  Are you through with all of your trying?  Now that I finally have your 
attention, here is the Real thing.  Me.
