Re: Pete's rehab
Good plan. I also think he should take a strong stand in these interviews
against child porn and the facilitation that credit card and ISP companies
provide for the industry. It's an excellent opportunity on both counts.

I think it is extremely important that after this legal mess is resolved,
Pete do a number of high profile music/interview appearances to explain his
side of the story.
He must admit to whatever law he technically broke, and explain exactly the
circumstances regarding it. He should go on Letterman, Leno, Conan, etc
and play a song, then sit down and get it all out there. Hugh Grant did it
and Rob Lowe did it and their careers are in great shape.
Pete should do it for the simple reason that the VAST majority of people
have no clue as to what happened other than he was arrested for child porn
and claims he did it for research. Each time someone asks me about it, I
explain about his auto-bio, his belief that he had been abused as a young
boy, his crusade against child porn on his own site, his e-mails to the IWF
subsequent to his viewing of the porn site, the fact that he turned himself
in, and the fact that he voluntarily invited police to search his home and
his computers and found nothing. Each time they say, "Wow, I didn't know
about all that. I feel much better about it after hearing all that."
Pete HAS to do this if he want to restore what he can of his reputation
among people who are no more than casual Who listeners. It is also a must
if he intends to follow through on plans to work on new The Who material
with Roger. Roger should insist on it, in fact.
