There’s this girl that’s been on my mind / All the time, Sussudio oh oh
Now she don’t even know my name / But I think she likes me just the same
Sussudio oh oh

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.

Die große Technik ist, wenn man die Technik vergisst. Herr Rubinstein spielt Chopin so wunderbar, weil wir nichts von Technik bemerken, wir hören nur Chopin. Wenn aber jemand sagt: Mein Gott, schau dir das an, diese Einstellung! Ist das nicht großartig? Dann ist das schon schlecht, weil er realisiert hat, daß es da ein Team gab, Technik, und daß da kalkuliert wurde. Einfachheit kann nicht übertroffen werden.

Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee. 

Was für eine Serie!

Now, a lot of you are probably wondering… why Jerry isn’t with us tonight. Well, I’ll tell you. The fact is he’s tied up. I’m the one who tied him. Well, I know you think I’m joking… but, believe me, that’s the only way… I could break into show business… by hijacking Jerry Langford. Right now, Jerry is strapped to a chair… somewhere in the middle of the city. Go ahead, laugh. Thank you. I appreciate it. But the fact is, I’m here. Now, tomorrow you’ll know I wasn’t kidding… and you’ll think I was crazy. But, look, I figure it this way. Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime. Thank you. Thank you.

These are my friends.
See how they glisten.
See this one shine…
How he smiles in the light.
My friend.
My faithful friend…
Speak to me friend.
Whisper…
I’ll listen.
I know, I know you’ve been locked
out of sight
all these years, like me
My friend…
well I’ve come home to find you waiting.
Home, and we’re together!
And we’ll do wonders.
Won’t we?
You there, my friend?

„Meine angeblichen Damen und Herren Geschworenen, ich bitte Sie, eine letzte Sache zu berücksichtigen. Dies ist Chewbacca. Chewbacca ist ein Wookiee vom Planeten Kashyyyk, aber Chewbacca lebt auf dem Planeten Endor. Denken Sie darüber nach. Es ergibt keinen Sinn! Warum sollte ein Wookiee – ein zwei Meter großer Wookiee – auf Endor leben wollen, zusammen mit einem Haufen winziger Ewoks? Es ergibt keinen Sinn! Aber was noch wichtiger ist: Sie müssen sich ernsthaft fragen: Was hat das mit diesem Fall zu tun? Gar nichts. Meine Damen und Herren, es hat nichts mit diesem Fall zu tun. Es ergibt keinen Sinn! [...] Nichts von alledem ergibt einen Sinn. [...] Wenn Chewbacca auf Endor lebt, müssen Sie ihn freisprechen! Das Plädoyer ist abgeschlossen.“

Dance, yeah
Nothing left for me to do but dance!
All these bad times I’m going through
Just dance! hey
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
