"I'm hot! I tell that to almost everyone because it's one of my hidden qualities. Except when I sing and play guitar with GUM! -- that impresses the ladies. I certainly don't blow them away with intellect. I'm better at reaching out with a song from the heart, or being a clown. So I'm not offended when people view my stage persona as 'idiotic' and 'moronic'. To be totally honest, that is my persona. Even off stage. Oh, just one more thing... I'm hot!"
"Being in GUM! is a cross between playing a part in a Monty Python movie, and making a visit to a state mental hospital. I can honestly say that the most meaningless experiences of my life have been shared with these guys, and I hope to repay that favor in some small way as we rock on. I regret that my parents didn't have the foresight to give me a name that starts with a 'P'."

"I'm way too busy with important stuff to spend much time messing around with what I call the 'World Wide Waste'. So how much you want to bet that I didn't even write this or utter a word of this quote. I'd guess that Chris and/or Pat got tired of waiting, and did this for me. But I don't know where they find time. If I was as good-looking as Chris or as charming as Pat, all my time would be taken up by the ladies. But I can't be them, no matter how much I wish. That kind of sums up everything I never wanted to say in public. Uh huh."
more about Pete
Rocking on out with these guys is a bunch o' fun. There's nothing like an earth shattering jam session in my book. The great thing about GUM! is that we've got so many shared interests, and really get along famously outside of the normal 'musical' environments of the gig, studio, and practice room. If we're not jamming on out, you may catch us watching a classic action flick. Or perhaps you'll see us going to a Prince William Cannons game. And if it's a really nice day you may find Chris and I riding our motorcycles on some of our favorite Virginia backroads. These guys know how to rock, but more importantly how to have fun! That shows in our performance and attitudes.
