You can literally sing Man in the Box across the entirety of The Intruder, pausing for structural differences. These songs are 4min masterpieces IMO and the similarity is wonderful, takes nothing from either. Love seeing generations of geniuses passing inspiration up the line and beyond. 🥰🎶💥

Peter Gabriel's THE INTRUDER (1980) is in pantheon of Most Influential Songs, what w #PhilCollins & #SteveLilywhite accidentally inventing 80s drum filters, #Primus taking the blueprint etc. PG dropped WOMAD LIVE '07 this wk… and I just realized it's the basis of #AliceInChains #ManintheBox 🤯🤯🔥🔥

Fuck yes. ✊

Yes! The thing abt public libraries that is so beautiful & crucial is the idea that *anybody* could do this — you need no credential, there’s no gatekeeping, literally any person can be an intellectual. You can come from absolutely nothing & yet, by means of curiosity + work, create real knowledge

the reason teen vogue was destroyed is a) it made rich people uncomfortable and b) it treated young people as something other than mindless consumers.
