I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that I didn’t really understand any of their work, though on their last album of the 1970s, the concept-laden And Then There Were Three (a reference to band member Peter Gabriel, who left the group to start a lame solo career), I did enjoy the lovely “Follow You, Follow Me.” Otherwise all the albums before Duke seemed too artsy, too intelleotual. It was Duke (Atlantic; 1980), where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent, and the music got more modern, the drum machine became more prevalent and the lyrics started getting less mystical and more specific (maybe because of Peter Gabriel’s departure), and complex, ambiguous studies of loss became, instead, smashing first-rate pop songs that I gratefully embraced. The songs themselves seemed arranged more around Collins’ drumming than Mike Rutherford’s bass lines or Tony Banks’ keyboard riffs. A classic example of this is “Misunderstanding,” which not only was the group’s first big hit of the eighties but also seemed to set the tone for the rest of theiralbums as the decade progressed. The other standout on Duke is “Turn It On Again,” which is about the negative effects of television. On the other hand, “Heathaze” is a song I just don’t understand, while “Please Don’t Ask” is a touching love song written to a separated wife who regains custody of the couple’s child. Has the negative aspect of divorce ever been rendered in more intimate terms by a rock ‘n’ roll group? I don’t think so. “Duke Travels” and “Dukes End” might mean something but since the lyrics aren’t printed it’s hard to tell what Collins is singing about, though there is complex, gorgeous piano work by Tony Banks on the latter track. The only bummer about Duke is “Alone Tonight,” which is way too reminiscent of “Tonight Tonight Tonight” from the group’s later masterpiece Invisible Touch and the only example, really, of where Collins has plagiarized himself.
well damn nice catch eagle eye
This brings the basic problem of free will vs destiny. If we can assume for arguments sake that Q team has access to Project Looking Glass which can see events in the future, which would have to exist in order for them to predict such an event 6 years previous, that brings up a very serious question about free will. Are there certain events that are more or less destined to happen while free will exists between these moments? The Greeks believed everyone had a destiny that was inevitable as evidenced by the play Oepidus. If someone could give me some clarification on this Id appreciate it. Ive had certain religious experiences which more or less confirmed this theory to me, in the form of a double spiral like a sink drain mirrored. Id like your anons thoughts on the matter.

Yo Q, requesting Trump vows to ban poisons in our food, the people who can afford to shop at the farmers market and health food store are already fine, but the Wal-Mart crowd and the working poor need less poision. Would raise average IQ by 10 points. Thanks
