"In between bands the crowd was treated to Free Bryan Adams, which is Pietro from They Shoot Horses DonÕt They? performing Bryan Adams songs. He brought his computer to the bar, and I was not referring to a laptop. ItÕs a full desktop computer with a tower case, big monitor, speakers and the works Ð just seeing the thing next to the stage is bizarre enough. He used the keyboard to play notes off the computer while singing songs like ÒSummer of 69Ó and ÒEverything I Do I Do It For YouÓ, and like a radio he would repeat some of the songs a few times. It was all quite neat, and I enjoyed it. A bit more practice might help though, as Pietro paused to look at his keyboard a few times and vocally he missed more than a few of the high notes. Or maybe thatÕs part of the shtick, I donÕt know."

This stemmed out from my Peter Paulus Information Relationships Library (a library of information about my ex-piano teacher). Playing these songs with full sincerity is a major focal point and challenge. Feel them, fill them, and set them free...freeing Bryan Adams from his pop shackles.
Like the Tibetan Freedom concerts, non-profit is also important, as there is a strong connection between making money and "pop shackles".
Free Bryan Adams phase 2
I will eventually make an album of a number of Bryan Adams songs. They won't be rendered like the live show.
Also, Bryan Adams recently sent me a personalized photo of himself congratulating me on my website...out of the blue! What? Yes! It says "Pietro, love the website. Bryan."
Bryan Adams autographed my hand! I waited for two hours after seeing him at GM place in January, then i stuck my fist in his car--the same fist I pumped in the air all night. He giggled. Then I did a photo shoot in the washroom when I got home.
For those who don't know, Bryan ADams equals BADams... or BAD... inside joke
