The thing about Peterson is that he brought it until the very, very end. And nowhere is that more evident from a raw power standpoint than on “Shorties Portion.” It’s Peterson as force of nature; to think that he remained capable of playing with this kind of muscle and precision while battling late-stage cancer is perhaps a testament to improving protocols of palliative care, but mostly you get the sense that it’s Peterson imploring, exhorting, beseeching that horrible disease to raise up off him, for just a few more minutes, so he could do his thing for us just once more. -#MattSilver for @wrtimusic
