Re: Genesis "Misunderstanding" Parody

Weird Al would be proud

I penned "21 shelves", which basically had to do with geddy lee during a futureworld alcohol prohibition basically stockpiling beer in a cave and drinking himself to death via a keg. I have no idea where it is, thankfully.

But I was 14...since we're nearly the same age, jim, i could not have penned that for the Genesis so young - I started listening to them in college, and of course the early stuff first...it was a bit of a shock.

How long ago did you write this?

Re: Genesis "Misunderstanding" Parody

Good parody.

That said, as a pop song, I always liked Misunderstanding.

I'd rather hear that on the radio then anything by ELO

I wrote this in 1993 or 1994 - whilst bemoaning the fate of progressive rock with some friends (this in the days before the internet), I got the idea. I was 30+ when I wrote it - it probably would have been angrier in my teens rick...
