Well, here is the picture I am most proud of. Me and Nancy
Sinatra. More than any other record, any other pop star, These Boots Are Made For Walking, and Nancy, rocked my world, when I was a little, strange, boy. I did not know what she meant, what the record was saying, but the first time I heard it coming out of the radio, I felt it was a command, from outer space, to dash for my mothers overflowing shoe cupboard and jump into her pink, patent leather pixie topped, kitten heeled boots, snatch up a cigarette, and matches, and stomp up and down the living room, lip syncing this song. So slick did I become, I often performed it for visitors, and relatives, who were so impressed that they always gave me money. This quite often mounted up to a considerable sum, with which my mother and I would invest in more boots: after all, they were my equipment!!! No amplifiers, drum kits, or guitars for me!! Boots, boots, and more boots. Then, this night, I saw her, I was speechless, she looked like a good girl, gone bad, all teased up hair, sooty eyes, and boots, with, a seriously bad attitude. Obviously, something sunk in. so, as you can gather, this was a meeting that mattered. She was sweet, and what's more, hip. She was not some old, unaware fossil. She knew what was going on today, and the influence her song had had on many boot wearing walkers. The Top Of The Pops party was full of pop stars: Gareth g.g.g,g..Gates, Will Young, Gina G, and countless others. I almost fell asleep.... then, I saw Nancy, and Nancy saw me! So, I had to let you all know, how honored I was, to be asked to pose for this photo, with a goddess.
Love, Pete.
