Oh Kevin, don't worry so much.  Everything is going to be all right.  

Roger has supported Pete and I dig that.  Lela is a classy person that admire 
for her constant support as well. Roger is not in denial for being a rock, is 
he? Did I say it right this time? Did I pass the test?  Can I join your club? 
;-)

And, by giving Lela a compliment, I am not implying that you are *not* 
classy. Sheesh too, man!

This whole thing is about a person that we all care about very much; Pete 
Townshend.  We all have our personal opinions and interest in this, but our 
communication needn't get so nasty.  I really like Scott, and you as well, so I 
just stopped. I regard what Scott says highly and when it went in that direction 
it hurt.   Nobody likes for this to be about "us" anyway.  

Pete is the one wearing the hot shoes.  Not one of us could possibly come 
close to imagining what he has really gone through this year anyhow.  So, I 
support him and do my part on the outside until he normalizes.  I don't think that 
it is appropriate for us to require anymore from him at this time.  When a 
friend gets devastated, the other friends should give them some slack. Pete was 
deeply hurt. 

But I do think that Keets just happens to be a genius. (Nothing personal :-) 

UnGowa!
