Firstly a belated Happy Birthday to one of the most underrated musician of the past fifty years, Peter Gabriel, who turned 59 last Friday. Though I love Phil Collins and will do so faithfully til death do us part, Peter Gabriel has by far the more intelligent sound (he's Charterhouse educated and it shows in his music), which I suppose is why he can produce a soundtrack for The Last Temptation of Christ and Phil is left with Brother Bear
He's been in the news recently for refusing to perform his fantastic tune "Down to Earth" from WALL-E at the Oscars. Good on him. For one thing I was shocked to find he wasn't nominated in 1989 for his work on Last Temptation or even for the use of "In Your Eyes" in Say Anything.
As far as I'm concerned, the Academy have got what they deserve...
