I would say Phil's music is total crap (old SNL skit awarded him Most Meaningless Songwriter Award) but he wrote "It's No Fun Being An Illegal Alien" which frees him from Streisand's level of BAD. One of the funniest songs ever. I think people should flood 80's stations with request because IT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT to play the song. Anything to tweek the PC police!

"Illegal Alien" is on the Blender list, and I think it belongs there. I don't believe there is any intrinsic value in political incorrectness, which seems to be an opinion shared by South Park and Family Guy fans.

I like Phil's early solo stuff and think he's among pop music's greatest drummers. But he has a tendency to steal hooks and song titles from other artists. Just one example: "Sussudio" was nearly a note-for-note knockoff of Prince's "1999."

No intrinsic value in political incorrectness? Funny, I find no intrinsic value in PC. WE HAVE A "MEXICAN STAND-OFF" AT THE FR! LOL

BTW, I hate South Park. Yes, my friend, I've said "YES to hate" when it comes to anything South Park.
