At the end of one of his last shows he said he might be coming on every 3 or 4 nights because he had several project deadlines (working with Parkland kids, maybe a private concert, I can’t remember.). Then he scheduled a Tuesday June 2 YouTube live get together, but cancelled it the same day. His email confused one of the other regulars. He said he was cancelling to support Black Lives Matter. At the time and for that day in particular there were various requests to celebrities and social media influencers to step back and allow the voices of People of Color to be heard. Many participating in “Blackout Tuesday” or “Blackout 2020” or another one called (I think) “The show must not go on” turned their Facebook photo to a simple black square. Peter did not change his FB or YouTube photo or specifically say he was following one of these requests (the rules of each which are murky), but I believe he is stepping back out of respect. And, I believe he’s immersing himself in other projects as he said he would. A tiny part of me thinks he wouldn’t keep himself sequestered when there are large and important protests to attend, but I believe he is wise enough to contribute in meaningful ways that won’t risk his health. I think he’ll be back when the time is right. Just my guesses, I have no insider knowledge.
