 > Phil Collins would be good to see.

Back in the day maybe. He's passed it now. During the Genesis show he had 2 backing singers. He just can't carry it like he used to. It got old real quick. That's what ploughing through 3 marriages including a gold-digging bitch will do you. I think he got drunk and fell off a ladder or something.

Graceland was a fantastic album. He said himself that the song Graceland was probably the best song he's ever written. I'm not so sure but it has some great lines in it. Another good story teller with his songs and music.

I'm the same. I have expanded somewhat. I did an oldies show on KXEZ 92.1 here in Dallas with another Brit, called The British Invasion, we did 2 hours of British oldies so I got more of an appreciation doing that than anything else. the Beatles were in the right place at the right time I think. It's not as if they were amazing musicians, maybe with the exception of Ringo, but they could put songs together.

Well...I'm not giving my age away on here...but I'm sure I've mentioned it before somewhere.

 > That's cool.  :)  I actually don't have any signed concert tickets..

I'll try and get you one next time :)

 > Blinded Me With Science'; I don't remember offhand what else he did).

Hyperactive I think was his other big one and Windpower.
