Mea culpa

To prove how wrong I have been about Genesis' greatness, I humbly submit the video for "Illegal Alien":

Yes, it's exactly what you think it is: Phil Collins in a Dirty Sanchez mustache singing in faux-broken English about trying to sneak across the US-Mexican border. Neither your eyes nor your ears deceive you.

Listen to those ultra-realistic coffee-can drum samples!

    Thanks Ed, I'd almost managed to completely forget about this one.

    I wonder if Lou Dobbs is a Genesis fan…

    Maybe that was Phil's clever musical retort (a la Lynrd Skynrd vs. Neil Young) to Sting's status as a *legal* alien in "Englishman in New York?"

    Or maybe not.

    I don't know if anybody is arguing that this era of Genesis is very good at all. This is the era, however, that certainly made them tons of money.

    Wow. Wrong on so many levels.

    Wrong on so many – and right on none.

    I don't know if Genesis is to blame here considering the 80s was one big shitheap of synths…

    You know what? It's still Phil Collins, fuck him.
