Keep On Working
We were discussing a while back why Pete decided to press on with
The WHO after Keith died in 1978, & while listening to some "stuff"
I hadn't listened to in a while, I came across this comment by Pete on
the EYE FOR AN I interview album that came out in 1989.
Pete states:
And sometimes the individual gets so lost....you know, he's
just sort of sitting there in the middle of it saying, you know,
"I want, I want, I want...." And that, what I really wanted,
is, I think I wanted to stop working with The WHO. I felt
that, you know, The WHO was a dead duck. And....then
I carried on when Keith died because of, directly as a result
of, drug & alcohol abuse. Instead of taking that message &
stopping, in a sense, I received it as a challenge; it was al-
most like, you know, life must go on. We *must* go on.
And, uh, I ended up almost becoming a victim of the same
problem.
