I think it's *path* rather than past. If anyone wants to tell me
> how it's possible to change a person's past, I'm all ears.
Obviously, I thought the line implied that Pete, via his music, had
changed this boy *in the past.* The boy is telling Pete about his
past, & how Pete affected it. I don't think Pete wants to imply that
he traveled back in time & redirected the boy. But it *can* be lit-
erally read that way. Perhaps Pete could've stated it better.
Path? Hmmmm....it *could* be path. It fits. And makes a bit more
sense while not destroying the meaning of the line. Gosh, now I want
to go listen to the song & try to figure it out.
