    Peter Gabriel, W.I.P. (work in peace)! Hoping for many, many more productive years from this titan of innovation.

    that's something I point out to my musically-inclined kids - how young these guys were when they accomplished all they did ...

    Yeah, I often think of them as so much older (well, they ARE older than me by over 20 years), but I am now old enough to have been their father when they were making albums like Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot...

    Jeez, in another thread we're debating the merits of Gabriel re-recording vocals for a box set from a show he did 20 years previously, and it's now 20 years in turn since that box set came out...

    Holy crap - just watched that. Painful - I have a feeling blood was about to start flowing just before the video stopped. I wish young people would think first as a general rule.
