another Phil Collins rant

So, I went to the Gap today. Which, say what you will (and you will) about their suburban takeover mentality, and/or how they're like the Starbucks of clothes... they have great jeans. I went in not only to buy some pants, but also because they're giving away free iTunes downloads whenever you try on a pair of jeans. Not buy, just try on. I mean, throw that in a pot with some vegetables? Brother, you got yourself a stew going. Plus? They're only supposed to give you one card, but the dude hooked up me with five. Why? Because I'm frickin' awesome.
Anywizz, so I'm wandering through the iTunes music store, and I come across this delightful sentiment, courtesy of John Linell, from They Might Be Giants:
"Defending the music of Mr. [Phil] Collins can be a fruitless, time-wasting effort. In the simplest terms, throughout his career I've been silently praying that the earth would open up and swallow him and all his works."

Yes. He goes on to actually put the song on his playlist, which to me seems inexcusable. I don't know. Just a great rip on Phil Collins.
