Funny Thing Happened To Me Today

[Chupacabra]

Phil Collins, you say? Well there's an evil little man if I've ever seen one! I used to be a mascot for a radio station in Vancouver a long time ago (Ha Ha Ha...yah, I know... ) and I happened to be scheduled to work the night of the Genesis concert which was just incredible for me because I've always been a big fan of Genesis. Anyway, here I was in my mascot costume (Mr. Fox) stuck working in B.C Place Stadium way before the show was beginning and it was really boring so I wandered my way down around the floor in front of the stage, quite a distance away from it, and was joking around with the stage crew as they pretended to do mean, sexual things to the mascot (Damn roadies!). So it seemed Sir Collins doesn't like mascots and he really doesn't like the radio station either because he came stomping out from backstage and just went apeshit on me and pretty much everything. So I high-tailed my furry, roadie violated mascot ass outta there and just stuck to the corridors and vendor areas until the show began and got changed and enjoyed every minute of the concert and laughed about it for weeks after. He ended up calling the radio station and got hissy with them too because one of the managers called me aside and asked me a few questions a couple of days later and she thought it was pretty funny too. I saw a few more concerts on their comp. after that one - like Dire Straits and U2 and some others. There were some perks to that otherwise hellish job!

Never cared for the man ( Phil Collins ) went to see the show 'cause Luis was playing otherwise..., I was a big fan of Genesis till Peter Gabriel left the band, he was far more creative and still is.

While some of Peter's music is a little too "out there" even for me, I have nothing but praise for him for all he has contributed to the world and to the world of music. If it wasn't for Peter Gabriel the music world here in the West would be significantly different, I believe. He is someone I would definitely like to meet in person!

AND he puts on a good rock show too!
