4. I'm glad he's still playing. He sure as shit doesn't look or move like he did in the early 70's!

6. Bruuuuuuuuuuce!
Sorry, got Cockburn tickets for tonight. Any other, lesser performers are no concern of mine.

7. I saw him back in 1986 the So tour, he puts on a good show.

8. I'd probably fall asleep
I used to love Gabriel and think everything he did up to 1992 is flawless, but his last 2 albums (and basically his entire output of the past 20 years) has been dull as dirt. Up was a trainwreck of songs that didn't know when to end and was as delayed and overproduced as GNR's Chinese Democracy.

The covers album from last year, in which every track was a slow, dramatic reading of song lyrics over a sparse string section, was pointless and uninspired.

I wish he'd quit being "Serious Artist Peter Gabriel" and write a catchy song or two again.

I'm not asking him to rewrite Sledgehammer endlessly, but could he at least put a little life into his music again?
