    Petition to stop Phil Collins return to music

    http://www.aol.com/article/2015/11/0...47389308468876

    Over a thousand of the needed 1,500 to go forward have signed it. I have not.

    https://www.change.org/p/united-nati...etition-no_msg
    **In the letter, the petitioner states, "Phil Collins has announced he is 'no longer in retirement.' There is far too much suffering in the world as it is. This must be stopped."
    One man's reason for signing the petition was the following, "I struggled for years with addiction to Phil Collins's music. Just take a look at me now."
    Some are concerned that he will collaborate with Taylor Swift.**

    Really? WTF??
    "Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
    "I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
    "I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973

    Good grief. No wonder Phil's depressed.

    Signed!!!!!

    He's shown his TRUE COLOURS by ruining Genesis & anything he says should not be taken at FACE VALUE, in fact as an artist he's as extinct as a DODO!

    Sounds like a petition created by someone not a tenth as clever as he/she thinks he/she is, but with too much time on his/her hands.

    There's some really strange people around. All the stuff going on in the world and they choose this to make something out of? He's a musician, for goodness' sake. He hasn't hurt anyone.

    Phil should not listen to this. There's a whole lot more people who like him than don't.

    His friend John Martyn used to say that people were jealous of his success, and I think there's something in that.

    I wish it was ISIS that was coming back. Their final album, Wavering Radiant, was as good as anything else they did, IMO.

    Thought we were bad with the ruined Genesis remarks here; some of the comments on that petition page-

    There is already too much suffering in the world.

    If we can send people to space, then we can stop Phil Collins. Or send Phil Collins to space.

    Sussudio is a crime against humanity

    We've burned the rainforests, poisoned the oceans, polluted the air, thrown an orbiting ring of debris around the planet, and generated enough landfill to cover entire countries. Time to draw a line in the sand and stop the madness. Collins cannot be permitted to return to work or future generations will NEVER forgive us!!

    Phil Collins murdered my mother.

    Waaay too much time. People are being slaughtered in wars, pollution is fucking up the environment, yet someone thinks this is woth spending time on. Talk about a First World Problem.

    Funny? Maybe for the first few seconds. After that, it's just lame.

    Why do I need reminders that prog fans have no sense of humor.
