"I never found Band-Aids work, they think they're waterproof, get full of water and then fall off – and it's the same with Geldof's lot," Lydon said. "I don't like them because they're open to corruption. There's this thing called administration and that's where all the money is eaten up. Do you remember the one with Phil Collins and they were jetting around, doing New York, London? How much fucking money? How many cans of Campbell's do you think that one cost?

I blame PiL FoR for the drum sound on the original Band-Aid single. Which is the only part of the record I like.Dr. Medulla wrote:http://www.nme.com/news/john-lydon/8165 ... 43cZtIS.99Lydon then went on to criticise Band Aid, saying that the charity initiative was "full of corruption" and that the money was eaten up by administration costs.

Is doing something and getting it wrong better than doing nothing at all?

Re: Phil Collins to retire from music
Phil has reissued his albums with updated covers. Brave move by the old buffoon.

Re: Phil Collins to retire from music
I'm not going to refresh my memory by reading the thread. Did he actually swear to his retirement?
If so, I have the perverse fantasy that we'll get a posthumous release that shows his retirement years as spent making arcane musique concrète and glitchy IDM.

If I recall correctly, he had an issue with his hands and couldn't drum. Honestly, I would have preferred his hands were fine and he lost his voice. His drumming never did me any real harm.

What is Peter Gabriel up to these days? I assume it's something weird.

I imagine Gabriel's stage show involves more costumes and less alcoholic incontinence.Wolter wrote:Gradually turning into Billy Joel.eumaas wrote:What is Peter Gabriel up to these days? I assume it's something weird.

Re: Phil Collins to retire from music
Well, you're half right.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
