Thread: Mel Collins ruined Genesis

  1. #1

    Mel Collins ruined Genesis

    Sorry, I was reading another thread where someone referred to Genesis and how you-know-who ruined the band, and referred to him simply as "Collins". And for some reason, my mind defaulted to Mel Collins, rather than Mr. Miami Vice Guest Star.

    I really wish Peter hadn't shaved that Death Star trench into his hair. There was no need for it, and it looked ugly.

    You mean the reverse mohawk? I seem to recall someone telling me that had to do with his interest in mime and costumes and such. I gather that was a traditional maneuver done by theater performers to aid in the use of masks and such.

    My dog pissed on their lawn once. That's what did it.

    Mel Collins is my uncle and we resent the accusation! Just because he went a little pop, for crying out loud.
    What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
