True indeed. It is the 6th part of Eruption, which is called Tommy, written by Solution's Tom Barlage.

Although it might not be obscure, the song "Starless" on King Crimson's album Red was actually meant for the album Starless and Bible Black, but Robert Fripp disliked the song until he had added a long instrumental to it. Both the song "Starless" and the album Starless and Bible Black refer to a line in a Dylan Thomas play Under Milk Wood:
It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless
and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea. Interestingly enough, there is not another reference or quote from the play in the song or on the album (aside from the phrase "starless and bible black").

That is not the exact sequence nor the reason Genesis broke up. But I'd be interested to read your assumptions. But you might want to turn your Caps Lock off before typing though.

I think the reason for this is, that the line "starless and bible black" came from Robert Fripp, while the rest of the lyrics around it was written by Richard Palmer-James, who obviously didn't care to refer to Dylan Thomas. |

That was hilarious. It's amazing his English accent rose above all this. I would have liked to have known what part of the States he hails from.

Death Wish II came out in 1982. I like Jimmy's score a lot. Check out the tracks "The Chase," "Jam Sandwich," "Shadow In The City."

Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' is sometimes jokingly called 'Dark Side Of The Moo' due to the album cover.

Bob Dylan came to an Ottawa Company (members of Egg/Henry Cow, no recordings) concert once. Later on at a separate concert, he said 'That was worse than Ottawa and Ottawa was the worst
goddamned hole in the universe'. :)

Having a #1 hit with “Owner Of A Lonely Heart”: I asked Jon if he could remember what he was doing at the time he learned the song went to #1. “Windsurfing in Barbados”, was his answer. Trevor Rabin was in the hospital because a lady fell on him at the hotel pool. |

I thought the part about Rabin being hospitalized because a "lady fell on him at the hotel pool" was notable!! I wonder if she was fat? Maybe that is why "Big Generator" was such a poor work?

Not so obscure:
Philppe Bussonnet, Magma bassist is really surprised if you recognize him on the street (or at the swimming pool in this case :) ). |

Bill Bruford was a member of British blues legends Savoy Brown for about a week in 1968.
Paul Fishman from the band Re-Flex (The Politics Of Dancing, a fairly big hit in the 80's) was also on Absolute Elsewhere's album In Search Of Ancient Gods, which featured Bill Bruford |
