Okay, just for fun: I just had a fantasy about how it would be like if there would be a Genesis reunion. My imagination went a little wild  . Add your own story if you wish... This is the GENESIS REUNION WORST CASE SCENARIO STORY, and I used a lot of stereotypes and prejudices to write a spicy story

Peter: Long time no see. Let's get back to work, you guys! (Walks to the keyboards and strikes a chord)

Tony: What are you doing?

Peter: I just had this little musical idea, and I just wanted it to show you.

Tony: On my keyboards?

Peter: It’s just an idea. After I’ve played it, you may develop it.

Tony: Just play it on the flute, or the oboe. Or on the tambourine, for all I care. I’m the keyboard player in the band.

Peter: Don’t be so possessive about the keyboards.

Tony: It’s always the same. In Charterhouse you also pushed me away on the piano. Nothing’s changed, really.

Mike: Come on, Tony. Give him a shot at it.

Phil: I got a great idea about an epic.

Peter, Tony, Steve & Mike: An epic? You???

Phil: Yes, I’ve just read this book…

Peter, Tony, Steve & Mike: A book? You???

Phil: Why, yes. It’s a book about the dance culture, and while reading it I found inspiration for an epic. I’d like to call the epic “Dance, dance, dance”. It has two parts. I’d like to call part I “In the heat of the dance” and part II “The last dance”. Of course we have to add a lot of hitsingles to the album, because such an epic is quite difficult for a lot of fans.

Tony: What has Genesis got to do with dancing?

Phil: I think “dance” has always been an important theme for Genesis. Like in Dance On A Volcano, I Can’t Dance and Dance Into The Light.

Mike: Errm, Phil…

Phil: Yes, Mike?

Mike: The last track you mentioned was from one of your solo albums.

Phil: Oh… yeah… so it is! Well, Genesis stuff, solo stuff, it’s all the same for me. Just as long as you can hum the tunes and dance to them. I’d like to put a little funk on the album.

Mike: Maybe we should think about a concept for the album. How about “The Little Prince?” I always loved that book.

Peter: No, that’s too much airy fairy stuff. How about an album about someone who lives his live in a room, and he never comes out of it, and he lives out all of his ideas and emotions via his pc.

Phil: That’s all too pretentious. Can’t get behind that.

Mike: Steve, do you have any ideas?

Steve: (playing his acoustic guitar in a corner of the room): Um? Were you talking to me?

Peter: Wait, someone knocks on the door.

Mike: It’s Ant! He’s back!

Ant: Sorry I’m late. I was composing some library music and I fell asleep. That always seems to happen when I’m composing library music. I don’t understand why.

Phil: We certainly didn’t expect you here.

Steve:  So you want to play the guitar too? How do we solve that on stage?

Ant: Stage? Are we going ON STAGE???

Peter, Tony, Steve, Phil & Mike: Of course!

Ant: I’m out of here! (Turns around and slams the door)

Mike: Well, maybe I should do a duo album with him. Right, the concept…

Steve: Wait, there’s another knock on the door.

Phil: I’ll answer it. Why don’t you guys start jamming in the mean time?

Peter, Tony, Steve & Mike: Okay.

Phil (opens the door and sees a total stranger): What do you want?

Stranger: I’m Ray. I’m here for the reunion.

Phil: Ray who?

Stranger: Ray Wilson. I used to be Genesis’ singer.

Phil: No, you weren’t.

Ray: Yes, I was!

Phil: No, you weren’t! (slams the door in his face)

Ray (walking away, mumbling): I’ll join the foreign legion. Then they can send me to the Congo. I’m free to leave.

Mike: Who was that?

Phil: Never mind. Let’s do some jamming. Where's Peter?

Tony: Somebody asked him to do something for a movie. He’ll be back in a week.

Phil: And where’s Steve?

Tony: He didn’t like the jamming. He wanted to work something out of his own. Well, Phil, what do you think of this? (plays some intricate cord changes)

Phil: Well, this is much too good for the people.

(Tony walks away in anger, slamming the door)

Mike: Well, that leaves the two of us, right? Wait, listen to this… I have this theme I wrote for the Backstreet Boys…

Feel free to write some fantasy of your own!

'Peter: No, that’s too much airy fairy stuff. How about an album about someone who lives his live in a room, and he never comes out of it, and he lives out all of his ideas and emotions via his pc.'

was the perfect opportunity to slip in a mention of silly costumes and then have Phil cut in.

'Peter: No, that’s too much airy fairy stuff. How about an album about someone who lives his live in a room, and he never comes out of it, and he lives out all of his ideas and emotions via his pc. You know, on stage, I could start the show as the computer and then-'
