Strange Connections

Here’s two seemingly unrelated posts from some fellow SFBayBloggers that I just had to tie together. According to Rich Thomas:

Phil Collins is coming to San Jose on his First Final farewell Show. … I know that Phil Collins has to be someone’s favorite artist. I just cannot imagine who those people are.

Here’s a reason he shouldn’t be your favorite artist, especially if you live in the Bay Area. Per Mark:

This morning a mountain lion was spotted in a Palo Alto neighborhood. “If you see a mountain lion, don’t run, but instead raise your arms and open your jacket to look bigger.”

And, of course, according to Phil, No Jacket Required. So if you listened to Phil Collins, you’d be royally screwed, not having a jacket with you to scare away the mountain lions.

And so, the moral of the story is that I’m terminally weird.

maybe you could scream “Sussudio” repeatedly at the lion?

Heh heh. I think that’d be good at scaring me, but not the lion.

I know some people who can tolerate hearing Phil Collins music. They are aged about 35 and upwards and listen to MOR stations whose output would be found undemanding by a ten-year-old child. It’s scary.

See Phil Collins live, Try to scare off a mountain lion. I would have to think about choosing the mountain lion.

I should confess that I actually used to own “No Jacket Required” on cassette, and also do like Genesis. But I infinitely prefer Peter Gabriel’s solo stuff to Phil’s. So like Rich, given a choice, I’d probably choose the mountain lion. :)
