end must be near
When he goes there will be only one remaining original member of Brand X.
The amazing bass player Percy Jones.
They’ve lost three so far:
Morris Pert (Percussion)
John Goodsall (Guitars, Sitar, and Voltage-controlled Aluminum Bidet*)
Robin Lumley (Keyboards)

This writer did not do her research.
First of all, the words to this song were written by Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford, although I think it’s a stretch to read any criticism of Reagan into it.
Spitting Image was a British satirical puppet show. After seeing their puppet of the band, they hired them to make the video, but there was no input, other than maybe what Spitting Image read into the song. It’s not like Phil Collins asked them to portray Reagan. And as Freeper Yardstick pointed out, the puppet of Phil Collins wasn’t very flattering.
There is no evidence that Phil Collins was some kind of lefty. I can find no evidence he made any comment about Ronald Reagan, or anything else for that matter. Surely, if he were the virtue signaling rock star, he would have said something.
In the U.K. he is often bashed for being a Tory/conservative. A lot of that is because he threatened to leave the U.K. if Tony Blair was elected in 1997. But for the most part, it seems like Phil Collins is not that political, and never made statements on politics.
Also, his main hobby is the Alamo. He amassed the largest private collection of Alamo material in the world, then donated it to a museum in 2014. What kind of rockstar, let alone a British one, is into the Alamo? I don’t think that’s a hobby that leftists, or anti-Americans would sanction.
This author does not provide a shred of evidence that the video was based on what Phil Collins actually felt.
Poor guy.
For many. Bill O’Reilly, Jordan Peterson, Ann Wilson of Heart. I’m getting up there.
Sad to see many rockers so (naturally and understandably) out of shape, sitting in chairs when they perform.
