Happy birthday(s) to Henry Rollins and Peter Gabriel...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Henry Rollins was born on February 13, 1961

“I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.”



Peter Gabriel was born on February 13, 1950

I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
Lord, here comes the flood
We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
In any still alive
It’ll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry.

3. Peter Gabriel is the best, a profound quote from him.

"When you put people in the box marked them,
you can kick them around a lot more easily
than when they're in the
box marked us.
So I think it's useful to try and empty the box
marked them
and fill up the box marked us."
--Peter Gabriel
