True Inspiration in Hard Times
Phil Collins and Genesis have had profound a profound impact on my life. I can think back to many times in my life when certain "tunes" would guide me through the ups and down of my life. The summer of 1998 was one of those times...and I don't think I would have gotten through it without Phil by my side. My son, Chris, got mixed up with the wrong group of guys. I called them suckers. Well, one day I found a bag filled with pot paraphenelia....I was heartbroken. I had raised Chris right, and now these houligans were bringing him down. At first, "I wish it would rain down" played in my head, but as I confronted Chris with my wife Sandy...another song came to my head...so I sang it to Chris. I took off my aviator sunglasses, got on my knees, and with all the emotion I had, sang:
You're no son, you're no son of mine
No you're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
and you're no son, no son of mine
