Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel is not showing up at the Rock Hall to be inducted with Genesis. Somehow I'm not surprised. Gabriel has always struck me as a complicated person. But in reality the Genesis being inducted into the Hall is not for the Gabriel era one, but the Collins one. And frankly, I'm more happy for Collins getting in than Gabriel. The latter, a critic's pet, while the former a critic's punching bag. Without the 80's hits, there is no induction. And without those hits, Genesis might be more loved by critics, but would not be nominated. They would be just another King Crimson.
