Haha, I'v e my fair share 80's awareness. Used to watch the miami vice reruns on TNN, before it turned into Spike.
Good stuff and hella dorky

I remember.
Man, who was telling me the other day that they LOVED Phil Collins... Seriously. It was weird. I mean, it's cool to like Phil Collins, of course it is, but this person was a MANIAC for Phil Collins. Even bought his son's album. (Apparently his son has an album.)
Can anyone confirm that this story was written for a childhood friend of his that got raped? He found out who the man was that did the abuse, invited him to a concert and dedicated the song to him. That's just the way I heard it.

I heard that he was at a cottage, and he watched (from a window far away) this guy watch this person drown, and then invited him to a concert.
I smell a little urban myth...
I liked this song a lot when it came out, but now it kinda scares me. like most of phil collins...

makes me wanna put on my Ocean Pacific hoody shirt and my acid washed, tagged jeans and drink a Bartles & James Wine Cooler. it also possibly suggests a bad acid flashback at the same time...with all of the aforementioned ingredients as well....

Jesus Christ. All of that. ALL of it is so familiar to me.
Bartles & James, oh my god. I swear to GOD the first time I got drunk was on those things.
I remember getting a very very hot kiss that night, too. ;) (You know, hot as can be for 14, but it was pretty good.)
Awesome.

How many different stores did you go visit to try and find a black Members Only jacket? They always had green, brown or blue and the only black one was a size xtra small. If it didn't say Jordache on the back pocket, you weren't shit. I still have my rollerskates(not blades, but skates), cause you were not kewl if you were standing in line to get in and didn't have a pair of skates thrown over your shoulder. Your initials on any of the PacMan, Missle Command, Galaxy, Centipede, etc. machines was reason to call your friends over to show your braggin rights were true. Oh geez, Bartles & James.
And we thank you for your support.
sadly, all of the above. now members only jackets have been co-opted by older gentlemen.
wow, some really cool memories. i was always confused as to whether the songs were by Genesis or just Phil. It was like one year he would be alone and then he was in a video with puppet presidents and 2 other dudes. Man the 80's were rockin! Peace.
I used to have a cassette with Live Genesis when Peter Gabriel was still grooving with them. I appreciate Peter without Genesis, but Phil with or without Mike and Tony are still very happening.

That just dawned on me Eisey. Another great air drum song is Take Me Home. I love the power behind the music. On his album Serious Hits Live, Take Me Home is the closer and with the audience singing along, it gives me serious chills. I put that song on a cassette for sailing down the Mississippi when I went on a 3 day overnighter. The gentle wind and that song heading back to the New Orleans port is giving me the "good feeling" just thinking about it.
i would say that Take Me Home is his best song. once you start doing Disney soundtracks, you are finished. good luck to Phil.

I'm not so sure if you're finished or need a break for some serious realignment. Hell, I've got a version of Rainbow Connection from the Muppets that rocks nicely.
Disney didn't make the Muppet Movie, did they?
Muppet songs are wicked. Disney songs are barf.

thank you Ms. EC for that correction, they didn't make the Muppets stuff. Sorry yall.
it is ok, I knew what you were trying to say. But he is now with the likes of Elton Fag and every other aging rocker trying to make a buck.
Wish they could all go gracefully, but look at the Stones. What a joke!
Peace.
Ummmm, look, I know they're old, but I still think that Elton John and The Stones can still rock.
I thought that The Stones were very awesome a couple of summers ago. AC/DC were WAAAAAYYYYYY better, but I still thought that Keith Richards can rock the fuck down.
Okay. Maybe I take it back about Elton John. But he's a much better piano player than I am. Much, much.

I hope you mean Elton Fag in a good way cause he is a son of Georgia and we are very protective of our own. Elton, The Stones, Floyd, Phil have all aged like a fine wine. Everyone doesn't wear black their entire lives, unless you're Johnny Cash. People change grooves, dip into other areas and continue to grow because of that. The fact that the Stones are still alive after all the years is amazing. That's like saying Aerosmith sold out. Never happen.
How old are you anyway? I know you are probably way deep into the life of J-Blow or Britney, but we appreciate the timeless travels of the rock and roll world.
Now now now.
I seriously doubt that anybody here is into the J-lo and the Britney, hey?
There's a reference to "In The Air Tonight" in Eminem's "Stan".
"You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call"
I remember because "Stan" was an immense hit when I was working at my holiday job a few years ago. I knew it by heart after a while...

no, i do mean that he is a fag. is he not? i just think that all of the above mentioned musicians have changed considerably for the worst. only my opinion. I am 28 years old and have been know to do Rocketman at the local Chinese place. Hate to break it, but Aerosmith has sold out dude. Peace.
by the way, i hate to offend people and none is intended. just talking openly about music. peace jonjon. ;)

No offense taken, just have a minor problem with any possible fag bashing. Trust me, I'm open to all discussion of music and if you help me learn something, I'm appreciative of it. Now I am curious to hear how Aerosmith sold out?
they stopped writing songs like "dream on"
I will agree, but to me, that's like Pink Floyd hasn't done another Comfortably Numb. Dream On is a classic that will live forever and everyone will trash it in the kareoke bars. Crying When I Met You is no follow up to Dream On, but Dude Looks Like A Lady still rocks. OK, I could have done without Back In the Saddle, but that's just me.
