NOTE FROM JEFF:

It seems like everyone else is getting on
the reunion tour cash train — why not
those Brit prog-rockers who faded out in
the early 90s as lead singer Phil Collins
started following the Disney muse?

The Top 7 Reasons
Genesis Should Do a Reunion Tour

7> One can only score so many Disney films before one longs for
the madness of touring with the people one couldn’t stand to
look at 15 years ago.

6> Mike Rutherford’s Burger King gig is really getting him down.

5> Funding that Second Old-Age Home by the Sea is gonna cost a
pretty penny.

4> If they can fill all the seats in one of the new Airbus jumbo
jets, the touring members of Genesis, Jethro Tull, Fleetwood
Mac and Yes get huuuuuge group discounts.

3> Because Sega will pay them a *boatload* of cash.

2> The band members have reached the age where their old
squabbles have been forgotten. Along with their current
addresses and phone numbers and their children’s names. And
if they have children.

and the Number 1 Reason Genesis Should Do a Reunion Tour…

1> It’s a hell of a lot better idea than a Mike + the Mechanics
reunion tour.
