Re[2]: My stupid theory



^^But why this sudden burst of activity on "old" projects?  He's been
^^(more or less) free from The Who for fourteen years now.  If being with 
^^The Who
^^didn't allow him to work on these things, why did it take him so long to get 
^^back
^^to them?

        Here's my guess based on the chronology.  In 1991 into 1992, Pete was 
working on his "new" project Psychoderelict (even if it contained some old 
material).  Shortly after this he was pulled into the Broadway Tommy project.  
What came out of this?  A Tony Award, lotsa money, and probably a lot of people 
who were willing to green light more Pete projects, as long as they were based 
on the old stuff.  This, and the expense and lack of interest in Psychoderelict,
undoubtedly pointed Pete in the direction of pulling out and dusting off "the 
same old song" so to speak.
