holy bulldog I'm pumped. Last time I was at Giant's stadium for a show I smoked drugs out of fruit and bought underage girls from Florida beers.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

I really wish Patrick Bateman would start a music blog. Or least Bret Easton Ellis.

In the office I have been downloading one Genesis or Phil Collins track a week in preparation. "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins is the hands down winner right now.

I think this tour can be a defining moment for the young generation of concert goers today. Please make sure Giant Stadium is at least half empty and stop all this re-union* nonsense. Your penance for not doing so will be an Air Supply/Ambrosia tour!

Give us old folks hope for your future!

(*full disclosure...I will be attending the Stooges show)
