One day, probably the first day of Real World Recording Week, when I was relaxing in the Green Room with Guo Yue, Peter Gabriel came in and he said to me “Hello, I’m Peter.” I didn’t recognize him as I’d never met him before, and there are so many Peters and Johns around. So I didn’t introduce myself properly, I said just “Hi.” After he left, Guo Yue said to me “He is Peter!!” When I saw Peter again, and he said to me: “Hello I’m Peter Gabriel”, I greeted and saluted this time with big respect. I thought that Peter is a really nice and warm person, and I continue to admire and respect his work and personality.
