Heh.

I like the usage of the "Interesting" tag... which is usually used in lieu of an opinionated tag such as "Asinine" or "Amusing."

Kudos, submitter... I think Peter Gabriel breaking his leg is "Florida."

So?

It could have been worse. He could have been hit with a sledgehammer.

Must be hard to kick the habit now.

I love the "home studio" reference in the article.

In reality, Gabriel's Real World studio complex is one of the best recording studios in the world. Amazing place in every respect.

He was feeling part of the scenery.

I like his music, but I'm holding out on lyrical references until Kool Moe Dee hurts himself.

The only place I know of that's better (besides Abbey Road, obviously) is Dark Horse in Nashville.

FTFA: "The rocker admits he's "frustrated" by his lack of movement, adding it has been 35 years since he broke his other leg after diving from a stage in Aylesbury, England."

1973... he was in a punk band?

Wow... he WAS a musical pioneer!

Sheesh, walking into a fark jokeathon is like walking into Darkness.
One wonders if you'll ever be Growing Up to be honest..
Oh well, there's nothing like breaking your leg on a mountain under a Sky Blue realising that there's No Way Out when noone's around..
I can't say I Grieve if he's lost to the snow actually, I'm not that fond of him and it'd be a great subject on The Barry Williams Show..
Look at me babbling around... Shhesh.. My Head Sounds Like That I guess..
There's really not More Than This to say, he hurt himself, people do that daily, who cares?

It wasn't so much diving as leaping at full speed. Unfortunately, they hadn't heard of stage diving at that time, so everybody moved out of the way (except for one guy who apparently thought he was just hallucinating). Gabriel was carried back on stage and finished the rest of the set lying down before going to the hospital.

 
WookieBopShuffle 2008-01-31 12:07:19 PM  
Musical pioneer? He was a complete freak.

But it worked.

 
Rndhed 2008-01-31 12:09:14 PM  
Everywhere he goes, it's news. But today is different, today's not the same.

Get well Peter!

True enough. He really needs the paparazzi to get a shot of him getting into a car without panties on.

Get well Peter

/I was just kidding, I really don't want to see his junk.

I came for the awful Peter Gabriel lyric puns, and am not disappointed.

You have pleased me once again, farknoscenti!

Swiss weather fine.
It was business as usual,
on the ski slopes that day.

"I hit a rock and I could feel a loud snap as I broke my leg, and then I skied down to the piste, which was a bit stupid."

If he'd had ears where his eyes had been, he might have heard the rock approaching. Guess that's what happens when you play games without front-ears.

/Got nothin'
