Unfortunately, I didn't ask him about it during the interview.
Fortunately, I have his email address, and he's a very approachable
fellow.:-)
"Well, Pete was a genius but racked with problems and fueled by enormous
amounts of drugs and alcohol. (I mean enormous.) He wrote two or three songs
a day, and we just worked them out and played them. 'Golden Lamp,' I sat
around kitchen table with him, and while he sang it, we worked out the
guitars, then Annie and him worked out vocals, harmonies, etc. His songs
were full of hope, but his head was full of doubt."
Best,
WILL
