Stumbled onto this great investigation of backmasked lyrics in rock songs ("Fire on High," "Stairway to Heaven," et al):

That is so way cool.  How come neil didn't show up when I graduated for SFSU?

BTW, the diploma folders have not changed one little bit in 23 years.

I was kind of wondering the same thing--did he speak at your graduation, or was he just there watching someone graduate?

It is SO tough coming up with something to say in those moments. The one time I ever got to talk to Peter Gabriel, all I could think of was to thank him for playing my favorite song of his earlier in the evening (it's Here Comes the Flood, the one that depresses POC so terribly.)

a caller on CG mentioned this -- a hotel in Switzerland where the rooms are named after rock artists. Care to stay in the Lenny Kravitz suite?
