Tom, I never meant the band members themselves. I wrote the time with Fleetwood Mac (and White Sky/Kolors). By that I meant the bad show-biz people you too are referring to, plus the drugs and pressure put on his young shoulders.

That's a good question! There are evidence that mental illness may be drug induced. If that was the case with Peter is impossible to say. However, drug induced or not, I imagine that mental problems must be harder to handle surrounded by the paranoia of show-biz, than a quiet life driving a truck.

And if he ever feels the kind of vibe that is displayed on this board he will see that there are indeed people in the world that love the sound he makes with voice and guitar, and that these people have no desire to "milk" anything out of him.

And if it comes to pass that Peter will never set foot on a stage or in a studio, then I hope he sits with a guitar now-and-then and plays it for himself, and it puts a little smile on his face.
Agreed!!
