Phil Collins drumming for Led Zeppelin was one of the low marks of the rock and roll era. He was awful.

I was in a hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint in Durham NC. On the wall were pictures of nothing but politicians: Dubya, Clinton, Bob Dole, Strom Thurmond, etc....

At the very bottom was a pic of U2 eating there. The caption read "This is U2. They are a band FROM IRELAND!"

Yeeehaw

 

[killallhippies]
