I do.  But, it also would depend on how energetic the boys *look* on the
vid.
Realistically it would be a song like BO'R, or WGFA.  Ideally it would have
a ton of windmills, a flurry of an ending, with Pete kicking over a mike or
a monitor at completion.
The anger and disdain must still show.

You've got to wonder.  He looked and sounded like shit at the Grannies.
Might be worn out from taking care of the kids.  Saw his wife play this past
summer.  She flew right back to NY immediately after her gig to be with the
kids.

I'm convinced he would have been dead before that happened.
Hey look!!!!  I'm right!!!!   ;-)

This time.  Nice limp he had though.  Can you imagine what his mom and wife
are going through??

Absolutely.  But, I believe he could have used his drumming to make up for
the lack of drinking and drugging so as to continue to express his
personality.
It's hard to imagine, I know, but we've seen other drummers come out the
other side, and be as strong as ever.
Oh shit, don't ask me for an example....
Anyone?
I don't believe you can change your personality.  But you can express it
with alternative means.
Call me the eternal optimist, but I just know he could have pulled it
together and been as strong or stronger then his early years.

Stay in Tune,
