Godspeed Phil Collins.
Phil Collins has retired. To add extra sadness to this story, he says that no one will miss him. Completely untrue. I will miss you Phil Collins.
I understand it’s for health related reasons that will keep you from playing drums…. which breaks my heart since I was still holding that PROGNERD dream that the Peter Gabriel Genesis would finally reunite before the world ends in 2012.
Enjoy your time off with your artifacts from the Alamo. Don’t let anyone give you any shit.
Reasons why Phil Collins rocked and why you all should miss him:
- Did you not realize that he played on one of the greatest albums of our time, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway?! (What were you expecting me to say, Dance Into The Light?)
- Duke and ABACAB also kick major ass.
- He was an extra in A Hard Day’s Night. You weren’t.
- He rode around Los Angeles in a pool in the back of a fucking limo. This was outlawed due to Los Angeles Ordinance 31-23.244 in 1986…..but Phil kept right on doing it. Cause he can’t remember……how to obey the law!
- He was a scary Spitting Image puppet for the “Land Of Confusion” video. This used to scare the piss out of me when I was little. That’s right, Phil. You scared the piss out of a 9 year old boy!
Godspeed Phil Collins. Godspeed.
