I found plenty of bloggable stuff out there on the Internet today. Here are a couple of bits and pieces.

• Peter Gabriel. According to AP, he’s bailing on Genesis’s induction next month into the rock hall of fame, citing his upcoming European tour. Sort of harsh, no? Maybe they do some sort of video link.

Reminds me of this:
