"She will never learn the most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time, because from childhood she has designedly cultivated the habit of ignoring the beat." Letter to Leopold Mozart (24 October 1777)

According to Dave Matthews’ introduction of this song from a version recorded with Tim Reynolds at Luther College, “#41” was the “Forty-first single that was recorded by the Dave Matthews Band.”
According to Dave Matthews’ introduction of this song from a version recorded with Tim Reynolds at Luther College, “#41” was the “Forty-first single that was recorded by the Dave Matthews Band.” He went on to mock himself, “about as creative as the Dave Matthews band,” but went on to record one of the best versions of the many DMB is smart enough to sell from many venues – so that his band and their families and the roadies and techs and suits, they get their share. Dave and his band got into music at about he final time that music was centralized enough for one voice to be heard.

which shoes fit exactly. Which eyeglasses correct perfectly? That is a personal question for *you*.
If you are like me, or my friend Nick Avenscion of Los Angeles, a slow song in the middle of a playlist is as individual as taste in music itself.
Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights is a song that is a personal favorite of mine, and calms me through the hard part of a simple treadmill walk – around minute 21 through 25. To me, the slow song as a Wuthering Heights illustrates how we can choose our own favorites, just like we can dress ourselves, and know what we like to eat for supper.
A lot of women would say at Genesis concerts: “Follow You You, Follow Me” is my favorite sing by this band. Men liked it because in the days that we Genesis fans brought girls to shows in the 1970s-2007, well, we knew we were labeled as “Dorks beyond…”
Follow You, Follow Me is a song Genesis wrote for their album AND THEN THERE WERE THREE. The reason for the title was that The Five member band had lost Peter Gabriel, who, uh, did pretty well on his own – in 1974. Peter’s family had an illness within and he had no moral choice but to leave the band. In Nicholas Nassim Taleb’s construction of a Black Swan event, Peter Gabriel’s solo career, beginning from the new sound that *popped* out of his first albums, and Peter’s creativity shows no sign of waning.
Both Gabriels’s and Genesis’ career [American grammar] along with Phil Collins’ career meet the theory I made up with no authority at all. It is called the The Edmund Fitzgerald rule (“TWOTEFR”). The surviving families of the Edmund Fitzgerald honored Mr. Lightfoot by asking him personally to write a song commemorating the twenty-nine lives that were lost on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I have never met Gordon en persona, yet musically, I was lucky enough to hear the song in my wife’s hometown of Philadelphia. Dr. Lightfoot played the same 12 string throughout most of his show, including TWOTEFR. My inductive hypothesis that might be garbage That song, in my opinion could ONLY have been written by Mr Lightfoot. I had to be (or not, I am a huge Nassim Nicholas Taleb reader, and I know I’m on thin ice here).
Gordon’s monologue continues, “I was flattered when they came to me and asked me to write an elegy like about the incident. When I first played it, I had no idea how they react. I was as nervous as I’d ever been but I can say that their appreciation is something that nothing in my career could ever surpass. I am always honored to play this song.”
The Gordon Lightfoot Rule needs a quick example: after a show in the 1980s Bob Dylan is known to have said something that is key example of TWOTEF rule – “[Sometimes after a show I think about having played a song as Like A Rolling Stone, and I say this not to brag, it just is. I think: did I actually write that song?” Meaning, simply, again, a song that the Black Swan Axiom notwithstanding, had to be. So it is not a rule as a law – it is an opinion in artistic taste. We are most careful here! I know you are if you have read this far.

Three songs of note within 1% of the speed of Takin’ It To The Street are Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, Jumping Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones, Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen and Love Me Do by The Beatles.
One, I had no idea what these men had planned for the streets. To the best of my knowledge, Rob Reiner is 100 years old and lives in a gated-off community in Hollywood where even if he “took to the streets” it would mean no adventure.

And Cenk Uygur of Route 27 in my home state of New Jersey. I respect Cenk. But I like near Douglass and all. What Cenk had planned for the “streets” kinda freaked me out a little.
Like: guys, love the passion, maybe save it for when we really need it?
Are mind games now being played on Dr. Phil?
Have we reached a point that ring to save someone’s life brings you more wrath than not threatening to assassinate the person next door because their skin is too white?

Never on a Gensis album is Phl Collins phrasing as string as Domino Part One.
Specifically, Genesis goes full existential.

Specifically, Genesis goes full existential. After a let down from a lover, Phil sings in resilience despite pain:
Here in the glow of the night
do you *know what you have done*?!
do you *see what you’ve begun+?
could it be
the we will never be
together again?
“There’s no need to look outside,
To see or feel the rain”
