Instead he meets a man who is asking him questions of such character as: “Do you know that the blues belongs to the black people?” Being high on mescaline, he considered this and came to the decision to quit play. (I know Peter has given several other reasons to the subject, but this is what he says in this interview.)
He's probably been asked so many times about why he quit playing that he's just giving BS answers these days. Good for him!
