l'esprit de l'escalier, forsooth




Not One of the Cool Kids, I Guess

Teenage chum Mark

would always needle me
about Peter Gabriel's

"Sledgehammer": You're
the only person I know who

actually likes that song.

 

What I should have said

comes to me now, over

35 years later: "Yes,

you're right. If I keep

listening to the song,

my penis will shrivel

and fall off, and I'll grow
a vagina in its place.

Tell me, O manliest of men,

O coolest of the cool,

what music should I like?"

So witty! And what was the problem anyway - great song and I always thought Genesis was so much less without him.
