Peter Allen died in Leucadia, California, rather than in San Diego as the site said. I just made the change. Leucadia is a neighborhood of Encinitas, California, an incorporated city that includes Leucadia, Encinitas, Olivenhain and Cardiff. Peter had a house on Neptune Avenue, which runs north and south along the cliff above the Pacific Ocean. Part of the interior of the house is shown on one of Peter's album jackets. The view is out a picture window over the ocean. My haircutter was Peter's haircutter. She gave him his last haircut. He had been going to her shop, which was just a couple of blocks from his house. But when he became too weak from the disease, he asked the haircutter if she would come to the house. She did. He said something very close to "I'm dying, but I don't have to look like I'm dying." I live a short walk from where Peter used to live. I wish I had met him. I saw him perform at the Huntington Hartford Theater in Hollywood. He was terrific——an extremely exciting and energetic performer. Funny too. He said, "Olivia Newton-John won the Grammy, and I myself got a lovely certificate." While in Australia in November '06, I visited Tenterfield, NSW, Peter's home town. There's a motel there called the Peter Allen Motel. I don't know what the connection is, if any, but there's a silhouette of Peter on the sign, complete with blousy shirt and marimbas.
