"Music is a spiritual doorway. ...
Its power comes from the fact that
It plugs directly into the soul."

Today is Steve Hackett’s birthday. Tomorrow is Peter Gabriel’s birthday.
Let’s listen to some Genesis while wishing them both a happy birthday.

I’ve probably posted this video before. It’s actually pre-Peter Gabriel wearing costumes on stage. Not by much, but it is. Weird, huh?
"There’s always a mixture of dread and excitement when you decide to go on the road again." Peter Gabriel discusses live performance and his creative process.

The prompt is Xeno-
Peter Gabriel. “Not One of Us” 1980
Stepping away from my usual use of the prompt as literal text and going conceptual on this one, using the concept of xenophobia.
#PeterGabriel had the idea of issuing successive albums under just his name, like issues of a periodical. This made identifying his albums tough, so the album featuring this track is often referred to as “Peter Gabriel 3” (his third solo album) or “Melt” based on the cover graphic of his face seeming to melt.
The stripped-down #punk/ #postpunk aesthetic pointedly eschewed the excesses of #Prog(ressive) or #ArtRock bands, so I’ve puzzled over the likes of Peter Gabriel and #RobertFripp emerging from such bands (#Genesis and #KingCrimson respectively), and producing taut, lean music embracing/embraced by this #NewWave (pun intended). I don't know - could it be about talented people giving up drugs (or drug-soaked colleagues)?
