I remember the local music video channel used to show the video for this a lot. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Mike Rutherford is truly underrated on guitar. It's easy 2 play flashy, but it's hard 2 stay in the pocket and say a lot more with less notes. | |

So true. Most are more easily impressed with the opposite.

Since you said in the Eagles thread that you might check out their book, here's a good one by Genesis. It's like The Beatles Anthology, in that it's by the group members.

The change in the first verse from the verse to the pre-chorus is very nice.
Great song. | |

^^You're welcome. It has something about everyone that had anything to do with the band, including little known co-founder Anthony Phillips and touring drummer Chester Thompson.

i love this era of Genesis 
I've seen that video before. I thought the drumming on a stool was neat. It's too bad Phil can't drum anymore. I read that when he did the Motown covers album, he had to tape the sticks to his hands because he couldn't hold them.
