Ordinary Day in the Life of Peter Gabriel

  • An Ordinary Day in the Life of Peter Gabriel


    32/13/07 - 13:37PM
    Peter Gabriel decided to take his pet monkey, which he named Shock (ergo Shock the Monkey), on a walk to Solsbury Hill. To get to Solsbury Hill from Lovetown (where Pete lives), you have to go Across the River and Down The Dolce Vita. If you get to Mercy Street, you’ve gone too far, there’s No Way Out and you must go back through San Jacinto. As Pete stood atop Solsbury Hill, he didn't climb up The Tower That Ate People, as the drop would put him right back to the start and he'd be more likely to get hit by Red Rain, even though the sky was blue, but instead decided to travel to The Town of Death. In this town, he met his old friend, Moribund the Burgermeister, who’d become the new town mayor. Moribund told Pete that there was an Intruder in the town, who had No Self Control; there had already been thousands of deaths. Peter’s monkey was shocked at this prospect! Moribund told Peter that The Family with the Fishing net claimed to hold the identity of the Intruder. He then added, “Don’t give up! If you need help, send a Signal to Noise and he’ll send a White Shadow to help you.” Overall, the whole story had gotten a lot of media Exposure, particularly on The Barry Williams Show. Hearing this, Pete did some Animal Magic, and he was Home Sweet Home in seconds, to collect Intruder-spotting equipment.
    Unfortunately, in the Humdrum of Modern Love, Pete’s Mother of Violence (also his girlfriend) had hidden his stuff in the garden. So Pete decided he'd go Digging in the Dirt to see if she had buried it, but he only found Fourteen Black Paintings. Frustrated, he muttered “There must be More Than This!” Searching the house from top to bottom, he found his old, almost ancient Family Snapshot from his school days. He remembered being an outcast, who was Not One Of Them, they all thought that he did not Lead A Normal Life. The thought of this horrible memory upset Peter, who, in order to let off some Steam, went to his Secret World. He started smashing his mother’s prized Wallflower with a Sledgehammer, and relieved some tension by going swimming, but there was too much Flotsam and Jetsam in the lake, so he decided to get out. However, as he left, he drowned, and his pet monkey had to give him the Kiss of Life. It was not very good for Pete however, as the monkey had previously been making out with a frog, and had made out with it Big Time. But Pete was happy, so he rewarded the monkey by playing a game with it, but, unfortunately, he had left the frontiers at home. So they played the Games Without Frontiers. Peter looked into the eyes of his monkey, and said “MY GOD! I can see Biko In Your Eyes!” He wondered if Biko may be the Intruder, and from his Perspective, it was totally possible. The lake then flooded. Pete yelled “LORD, HERE COMES THE FLOOD!” He thought he'd better say good-bye to flesh and blood, but then he decided not to. He tried to run, but was engulfed by Darkness as the Indigo waters swallowed him. He had a flashback to when he was Growing Up, but soon his Head Sounded Like The Rhythm Of The Heat, and he found himself hearing That Voice Again.
    When he woke up, he was somewhere completely different; he didn’t remember how it had happened. It looked nice, so he decided to live there. After some quick D.I.Y, he had built a house. He decided to ask a local where he was. So he approached a stranger and tentatively asked “Excuse me? Where are we?” The stranger asked Pete if he could just lay his hands on him for a brief moment while he found the map. They were the only inhabitants of the village. It was only them. They became good friends. How they did love to be loved by one another! That was until; Pete cut himself on his Curtains. He watched in horror as his Blood of Eden poured out. The man said “I Have the Touch, so now The Feeling Begins.” Suddenly, Pete woke up, at home. It truly was a Wonderful Day in a One Way World.

  • Da dieser Thread noch keine Beiträge hat poste ich mal hier folgendes und wundere mich das dies hier noch kein Thema war. Habe eben Werbung zu einer Übertragung des Mandela Konzertes 46444 auf N24 gesehen. Ich glaube die übertragen das Morgen(?) U.a mit PETER, Queen und einigen mehr......:)

  • Gabriel ist diesmal nicht dabei.

    “THE NIGHT WE TRACKED DOWN PHIL COLLINS, BECAME BEST FRIENDS WITH HIM, AND TALKED HIM INTO REUNITING WITH PETER GABRIEL, AND THEN WE GOT TO SING BACKUP ON THE NEW GENESIS ALBUM AND IT WAS AWESOME!”

    — Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother, Season 7, Episode 21 ‘Now We’re Even’

  • Nein, das Konzert heißt "46664" und findet am Freitag, dem 27.06.2008, statt. Da wird offenbar eine Stunde live aus London übertragen: kabeleins.de TV-Programm. Dass Peter dabei sein soll, habe ich bisher nicht gehört; er war 2003 bei einem Konzert der gleichen Reihe dabei:
    46664 (Nelson Mandela) – Wikipedia


    edit: oops, da war jemand schneller als ich mitm Antworten...

    For me there's no mystery...

    .....das mit Gabriel wusste ich nicht. N24 überträgt allerdings länger

  • Habe extra bei N24 nachgefragt. Die zeigen das Konzert live von 19:00 bis 23:00 Uhr im TV und als Stream in Netz. Allerdings ist die Programmseite für Freitag auf n24.de noch nicht aktualisiert.

    Konzertbeginn soll um 06:30 pm Ortszeit sein (London Hyde Park).

    line-up includes Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Razorlight, Eddy Grant, Jamelia, Zucchero, Josh Groban, Joan Baez, Amy Winehouse, along with more than a dozen of Africa's most highly regarded artists including Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir and Papa Wemba.

    Ich hatte überlegt ob ich da hin will, aber GBP 65,00 für's Ticket plus Flug und so weiter hat mich dann doch nicht überzeugt.

    Peter Gabriel könnte als Überaschungsgast auftreten, denn es werden von den Veranstaltern explizit einige überaschende unangekündigte Auftritte angekündigt...

    ...and my soul from out that shadow
    that lies floating on the floor
    shall be lifted
    nevermore.


  • Ist trotzdem ein interessantes Line up. Wow, Shirley Bassey....Das werde ich mir mal anschauen. Die Frau ist der Hammer :eek:

  • Wundert mich dass Peter nicht dabei ist. Er hat einen guten Draht zu Mandela. Er war bereits zweimal bei 46664-Konzerten mit von der Partie und ist ja auch bei diesem 'The Elders-Forum' dabei, zu dem auch Nelson Mandela gehört.
    Gut möglich, dass er bereits was am Laufen hatte an diesem Tag oder dass er als 'Africa's most highly regarded Artists' auftritt. ;)
