appropriate given the shooting that just occurred in connecticut. 

For me Peter Gabriel is like a broken pencil...

9 → 10

Hm, although I like the album (in fact, I was listening it in my car this morning) i always skip that one.... sorry.

But there aren't many topics where one can be provoked to anger over the opinions of others, I can only think of; politics, religion, the economy, health care, education, sports, climate change, racism, journalism, personal finances, hunting, abortion, gun control, the military, gay rights, the war on drugs, the separation of Church and State, and cats vs dogs. If you are telling me that you can be calm, cool, and collected when someone disses a song or group that you like; that you can just let it roll off you, like water off a duck's back, then I applaud and envy you. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but that also means that everyone is entitled to defend their views. Of course we shouldn't resort to mudslinging - that should be left to the experts, media commentators and politicians - as Dmax says, always try to defend the music rather than attack the commenter(I try to take the high road but my hands are not completely clean in this regard).  However, I can understand where someone might lash out in anger, especially where a suspected troll is involved. We shouldn't feed the trolls, but sometimes a well placed jab sure feels good.

Cheers,

yeah. boring. like creation. something beautiful from nothing.

maybe you could listen to more Def Leppard and leave the commentary to the adults...

Thanks. Recently lost my sweet, sweet Papa, and this has helped me grieve.

.....Can we please find some Milli Vanilli for this person?

@ amoreena:

According to wikipedia the source of the song has a less personal and more practical (contrived?) origin than we might think:

"I Grieve" was conceived after Gabriel looked over his catalogue of music as if it were a catalogue of emotional tools. He found one major missing tool to be one to cope with death and therefore "I Grieve" was born (first aired in 1998, despite the popular belief that it was written in response to 9/11)."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_%28Peter_Gabriel_album%29)

Whatever. Still a great song though.
