  1. WOW I go to work for a few hours and missed such a hot topic!

    ok music!

    well Lech I agree that the Beatles are overated in some regards. it drives me NUTS when they are voted on #1 band all the time on those damn lists of top 200 artists etc

    I love Dire Straits, Love The Police – there are so many bnds I love!!!

  2. Was talking to sales manager of fairly large industrial manufacturer today, they had projected 10% sales increase over a (bad) last year. Sales up 32%, they can’t get enough inventory going.

    Warren Buffet said something similar the other day.

  3. Biff – Hands down my fave Peter Gabriel is Mercy Street. Coincidentally, Jester posted the full lyrics to the song here a while back. I’ll do it again:

    looking down on empty streets, all she can see
    are the dreams all made solid
    are the dreams all made real

    all of the buildings, all of those cars
    were once just a dream
    in somebody’s head

    she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
    she pictures a soul
    with no leak at the seam

    lets take the boat out
    wait until darkness
    let’s take the boat out
    wait until darkness comes

    nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
    nowhere in the suburbs
    in the cold light of day

    there in the midst of it so alive and alone
    words support like bone

    dreaming of mercy st.
    wear your inside out
    dreaming of mercy
    in your daddy(‘s arms again
    dreaming of mercy st.
    ‘swear they moved that sign
    dreaming of mercy

    [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mercy-street-lyrics-peter-gabriel.html ]

    in your daddy’s arms

    pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
    tugging at the darkness, word upon word

    confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
    to the priest-he’s the doctor
    he can handle the shocks

    dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
    of kissing Mary’s lips

    dreaming of mercy st.
    wear your insides out
    dreaming of mercy
    in your daddy’s arms again
    dreaming of mercy st.
    ‘swear they moved that sign
    looking for mercy
    in your daddy’s arms

    mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
    mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

    Anne, with her father is out in the boat
    riding the water
    riding the waves on the sea
