Peter Gabriel Rock and Rock Hall of Fame
Last night, Peter Gabriel was inducted into the Hall of Fame. For many of us, his music, and Tony Levin, have been a pure source of inspiration. Perhaps the best part of this was his message to the next generation of musicians, here is a quote from the article, "If you’re exploring making music and looking at us old-timers getting our decorations, I say two things: Dream big and let your imagination guide you, even if you end up dressing up as a flower or a sexually transmitted disease. They may think it’s a little strange. They may laugh at you, but just do it.
"Secondly, surround yourself with brilliance — the brilliance of who you love being around and the brilliance of their talent."
Among the several colleagues he namechecked was Tony Levin, and while he didn't directly mention any members of Genesis he said: "I’ve worked with so many amazing people through these years."
He concluded by saying: "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside.
"It can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy."

Re: Peter Gabriel Rock and Rock Hall of Fame
Wow. Just when I think I'm possibly getting over an artist... Well, that's not quite right. Maybe taking an artist for granted is a better way to say it.

Re: Peter Gabriel Rock and Rock Hall of Fame
I flew out to see that show
For me there is no other artist like Gabriel From his lyrics on the Lamb ( GO see Musical Box! ) Each empty snake like body floats, Silent sorrow in empty boats. A sickly sourness fills the room, The bitter harvest of a dying bloom To his live shows ( Secret World still one of my concerts visually ) I remember seeing his first couple of tours after genesis Songs like On The Air / DIY / Humdrum / Here Comes the Flood
One of the best parts of the show was Chris Martin speech ( he read from the Book of Genesis VERY funny ) Gabriel was very humble in his acceptance speech ( and did give a shout out to Tony who was out playing with Stickmen )
Class Act
Tom ( in Austin )
The show will be on HBO Peter is the opening Performer
