Phil Collins to retire from music

[JennyB]

No, I mean, that was the Time headline. "Phil Collins Apologizes For Success, Quits Music." That's as amazing and jaw-dropping to me as a NYT headline reading "Reagan Returns From Dead To Win Tight GOP Primary Race With Mitt Romney."

Ahhhh, OK. I was at a conference all day yesterday and didn't realize it was an actual Time headline. I think we need to sue Time for fucking with us so immensly.

A thread dedicated to JennyB. But if you don't care to read about her...

The English don't see Jews or threads dedicated to them.

Things IMCT has taught me:

1. The British can't see Jews.
2. John Mellancamp is racist.
3. The ideal British pancake is similar to what I would call a crepe, but the ideal Heston pancake is similar to a meat-filled Hostess Pie.
4. Tep doesn't read IMCT.
5. A lot of people genuinely liked TGTB&TQ for some reason.
6. Hoy.
7. To beware the mighty Yeti.
8. Always blow on the pie.

9. The Clash betrayed all of humanity.

10. No one else likes the Clash enough to hate them like we do.

11. That will Americana for Humbug.

I hear that he's not retiring.

He's retired again, the bloke seems to be in a land of confusion....

After much public confusion about his future, Phil Collins has confirmed he is retiring from music.

The drummer/singer made the announcement on his website, Philcollins.co.uk. The message came after his publicist denied that he was planning to stop making music.

"I am stopping so I can be a full-time father to my two young sons on a daily basis," he wrote.

Collins also reacted to recent press stories about his wellbeing.

"Many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted," he wrote. "The result is that I have ended up sounding like a tormented weirdo who thinks he was at the Alamo in another life, who feels very sorry for himself, and is retiring hurt because of the bad press over the years. None of this is true."

Collins had previously been quoted as saying he believed he had captured paranormal energy in photos of the Alamo, the site of the Texas Revolution battle in 1836. He was also quoted as saying he had considered suicide.

However, he has now stated that he was taken out of context, signing off his message by writing: "There's no need for the straitjacket!"

The former Genesis man has two sons, Nicholas and Matthew, with his third wife Orianne Cevey. The couple divorced in 2008.

2 years till he's back on a Disney animated soundtrack and headlining select $100-a-pop concert dates with orchestra and possibly Billy Joel in-tow before vowing retirement again.

Just to piss off Jenny.

Because you know he's just that kind of asshole.

He is that kind of asshole. He'd probably break it to us via fax. You know, how he dumped his wife.

What a brilliantly "80s" way to end a relationship.

I suppose he'd do it via Twitter these days.

That's also how Black Francis broke up the Pixies.

At least Gingrich had the decency to come to his first wife's hospital bed in person with the papers.

Truly, a paragon of moral virtue.

If you don't support Gingrich for president, you're best friends with Michael Vick.
