holy crap. i've never seen that picture and now i want to draw it.
I just found it a few minutes ago in an English Newspaper. Unfortunately the the article pertained to Pete's divorce from Karen. But it's still a lovely picture.
"its a boy born on this first day of peace"
Hope he's having a good day, just up the road from here in Richmond.
Do you ever see him around town?
Richmond is about 40 miles up the road (M3) from Winchester, so I've not seen him (although he does drive down the M3 to listen to new music in his car according to the notes he wrote in the book for the 30 Years boxed set).
A friend of mine used to manage a book shop near PT's house. I asked him if he'd ever met Pete. He said he often met him in the shop. "What did you say to him?" I asked. "That'll be ten pounds please Pete" was his reply, hahahaha....
Pete T. -Goodness !, what a "hideous" profile. But alas!, he cannot help it !
I guess you never read Cyrano de Bergerac, eh? ; ) | |
