Warren Zevon was a beauty. Keep me in your heart for awhile - makes me weep like a baby. Now that love song and story for your wife is what a true Valentine is.
What a wonderful story. It always makes my heart hurt a little – in that really good way – to hear a real, true love story. Especially about a love that lasts. So beautiful. Thank you for making that real in this world, it is a gift not only for you two, but for us all.
And Reed College! That’s where I was from ’74-’79. Whereabouts did you & Elaine live?
Me, on SE 28th & Long, a really sweet, really old house – still there, an office I believe – and then SE 39th (Cesar Chavez now) & Long, across from Winchell’s & Gaffer’s Pub. The house is now apartments, the donuts long gone, the pub is a Walgreens, but the gorgeous old evergreen that would drip & drip & drip outside the window in our bedroom (also a deep forest green, thanks to whoever lived there before) is there still, I believe.
Oh and the love of my life back then who I lived in those houses with? He's long married, though not to me. A good thing, as it turned out.
Love to you & Elaine, Pete, from this friend you’ve never met. Yet!
I love this story. In the early years that we used to go watch you and the Sinners play, you would often introduce her as your “friend”, Elaine Summers, and in those days we wondered if she was just your friend, but hoped that she was more than that because you both seemed so perfect for each other. Happy Valentine’s Day, Pete and Elaine. I am so happy you are feeling well enough to share your joy with us, again! 🥰
Hi Pete. It really moved me to tears your story about your relationship with Elaine. It mirrored my relationship with my wife of now 40 years! You are obviously a very caring and honest person which is the reason I subscribed to your original newsletter and just love your songs and albums. Thank you for making our world and lives a lot better in this very trying time on earth. Yours, Rex Bond NZ
It's amazing how much I don't know about my own sister. I thought I was supposed to be the rock star in the family. Oh well, I have to admit, she's the greatest and I love her to death. Love the story. It should be a movie. Happy Valentine's Day to you both.
Good stuff, Pete! Happy Valentine's Day to you and Elaine. Nothing better than love in our world. We're on 30 years together, 23 married, ourselves. Much love to you both today!
Amazing song about an amazing love story❤️

Such a beautiful love story. Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentine's Day, to you and Elaine!
Happy Valentines Day! Always nice to hear stories about the ones the worked out!
Happy Valentine's Day Elaine and Pete! A beautiful love story!
Happy Valentine's Day you two.
I had the good fortune of falling in love with my bass player. Sure makes doing gigs easier! We've been married for 22 years and have 2 sons.
Music shaped my life. Know that yours was a big contributor.
Good stuff, Pete! Happy Valentine's Day to you and Elaine. Nothing better than love in our world. We're on 30 years together, 23 married, ourselves. Much love to you both today!
