a rock and roll legend, yet he's never hesitated to expose his inner self to the world. the best de__scription ever attached to this man is "an artist who composes songs that often sound like brilliant chamber music set in the middle of a commando raid."

his songwriting as well as his live performances have provided some of the classic moments in the history of music, yet he's ultimately contemporary, continues to innovate and change - uses new forms of media in his lifelong pursuit to vent this burning fire, this bottomless soul..

when Pete smashed his guitar on the stage, the resulting thud was revolutionary. his songs changed a culture, and his spirit continues to emit glowing embers of truth whenever he gives it a voice.

Steve April	2/4/2013 11:49:56 AM Hi Pete, Congratulations on winnin' the Les Paul Award. Surely, you're among the most popular to win the award. If you're inclined to explore leading a revolution in independent music, we've a great core group here on IAC, and are about to introduce ourselves to venture capitalists here in the bay area lol. I'll consider myself fortunate if you check out my artist page here on IAC, hopefully will look forward to hearing your new videos, featured on the huff post. au revoir for now, congrats anew, Steve A.
