Land Of Confusion

Anyone remember Phil Collins and Genesis? I would think it would be hard not to remember a group that managed to claim around 20 major awards in the 80's, not to mention about another 20 that Collins racked up on solo work.

In 1986, they released a video for a song called Land Of Confusion. Not only was the video great for its time {watch it here}, but the lyrics were well written, well thought out, and well applied.

Jump forward twenty years. This song has been masterfully re-done by the group Disturbed and the message in the lyrics apply just as much today as they ever did, if not more. But the true mastery is the songs video release. I usually wouldn't put a video tie in into my blog, but this is an exception. I hope you all enjoy.

Oh yeah, I still like Phil Collins too. Probable my favorite song is "Heat of the Night". Though some how I always think of Miami Vice when I hear it. Anybody remember Crockit's pet aligator Elvis?

Oh yeah... It's kind of hard to forget Elvis.

I was just looking at the box sets of seasons 1 & 2 a couple of weekends ago. Thought I'd start collecting.

Miami Vice, Magnum P.I., and Hill Street Blues were my main shows of the 80's.

I love Miame Vice, and Magnum though I never really watched Hill Street. Enjoy watching the collection.

Most impressive. I hadn't seen this video since I don't have a chance to listen to the radio much. I agree with dodo and give it a thumbs up! ;)
