How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I got my hands on a copy of 'Back to Front' yesterday. Best concert film I've seen made in many years. Amazing show. Gabriel still has it.

 

I only wish I knew he was doing this tour before his North American leg was over. Would have loved to have seen it in person.

Not the most pleasant version of that song I've heard from them. :p

Maybe not :D But I love the way they perform it. And the last bit between them and the presenter. "Do they have a lot of other nice songs, the four lads?" "No, that's their only good song." Plus, it's from an era when MTV (at least in Europe) was still half a decent music channel so there's some nostalgia involved.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

It's not a bad song at all in my opinion. It actually reached #2 on the charts when it came out too. I just scored the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack again (have it on cassette but that's a bit worn out now sadly), so I've been rocking out to that. It's one of the best soundtracks from an 80s movie in my opinion. So many great scenes to music in that movie too.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
