Gabriel has had a 30 year career. Before going solo he was the lead singer for “Genesis”. All you need is a couple of hit records and you are financially set for life.
I had forgotten about Genesis so thanks for pointing it out. I love Phil Collins too, but my point was that just because you were a singer or actor etc., your political views are not that relevant unless you are still in the political scene and have a working knowledge of current events. Wack-A-Mole pop-up attention-getters are irrelevant to the issue.
If Gabriel doesn’t want his song used by Rush, so be it. However, I had a hard time remembering what he sang until this FR article. Sledgehammer was an interesting song but I don’t rank it up with any of the betters songs of that era.
Does anyone remember the words to Tom Waite’s song about “dancing on the table?” Again, a nice song but it’s way back on the jukebox list.
I had to explain to my granddaughter that her tshirt which said the “Bird is the word” came from a song by the Trashmen back in the 60’s, if I remember correctly. She had no idea that the song existed. She’s of the “Angry Birds” generation so I had to teach her a little music history.
Amazing how many songs you can remember and forget after 56 years. Genesis I remember; Gabriel, not so much.
