LONDON—“Im more confident now, thats the difference. Success brought me confidence and relief because I finally made it," said Peter Frampton, leaning back into the fat soft cushions in his suite at the Ritz. He was in London on this midsummer day to attend to personal business, mostly. “Happier? I was just as happy when I didnt have any money. Umm...I was told I contradicted myself the other day on that point."
“You were very worried about it," manager Dee Anthony interjected. “It plays an important part in everybodys life. Paying bills, the security, thats human nature. See—he can laugh at it now," he nodded towards Frampton.
“But, I tell you, there were moments of desperation. Moments when he said hed become a session musician. You start to resign yourself, defeat yourself.
Thats when you have to get another little firecracker going."
Anthony, as ebulliant as his artist is reserved, is a managerial tour de force.
