>From what I've read, I always understood it to mean that Pete and Karen 
spent a lot of time apart (particularly when he's in NY or other cities 
promoting "Tommy"), but that they weren't actually, legally separated.  
 
In that disenchanting Playboy interview (93? 92? somebody mentioned it 
recently) --the one where he comes off as a completely self-indulgent ass 
-- he talks about more recent problems.  He says something about how 
Karen wants him at home, and he wants to spend more time in the States or
 on the road -- garnering accolades for Tommy, turning his past work into 
stage productions ("Quadrophenia: The Musical!"), and reinventing 
himself as Pete the Broadway Show Guy.  I thought the Tony awards must 
have gone to his head. That, plus he said he started drinking again, just 
a little.

Anyway, it seems to me that their marriage has withstood some of the 
rockiest times, and this was just the latest wave of difficulties 
for them to work through.  This info could be out of date, and I could be 
completely misinterpreting -- but in a very naive way I had faith that 
the marriage would win out over that ego.

As for Marty's story about leaving a note at his house:  I left a note 
and two flowers on his Mercedes once.  It was parked in the street 
outside the Boat House, so it wasn't trespassing.  He sent a short letter 
in return.

Yikes -- this is the most I've ever posted to youse guys.  Guess I should 
go back to work.
