Peter DiStefano

I cannot express the joy I had interviewing Peter DiStefano, guitarist. I started this podcast for opportunities such as these. How often can we interview figures that played such a key role in our lives? If you haven't heard the riff of the opening song "Sadness" of Porno For Pyros' epononymous album, then please take a moment to do so now. I was 17 and a senior in high school when I heard this. I was still in a post-drought melancholy suffering from the breakup of my favorite band, Jane's Addiction, when the PFP album came out. At the time I thought it filled a gap. Years later I realize it was another chapter of music for my budding life. The smiling devil that graced the cover bestowed its own song of Pan: be warned of the frolic and folly to those that follow. I never knew what happened to PFP following their second and last album, Good God's Urge-until now. Peter shares his struggles with addiction and the wisdom that comes from 23 years of sobriety. What I will remember most from this episode is when Peter breaks into an Italian song midway through. With song there is always a hope for humanity. I hope Peter's story gives you as much as hope as it did for me. Maybe, one day we might get a new PFP album. One can hope.
