I had totally forgotten about Jesus He Knows Me! I likely didn't (couldn't!) fully appreciate then what genuinely really well put together and timely piece of satire it was and still is. It sounds & looks light and catchy yet the lyrics contain a lot & its video is really well executed. Phil's acting chops getting a good work out here too!
In general I find Phil Collins/Genesis a bit twee (not helped that his/their weaker songs appear all too often on the car radio!) but I really enjoyed this seeing this again - thank you!
"The people who hate Dirty seem to hate it because it appeals to people who aren’t cool enough to like Sonic Youth. However, those people are all in their 50s now, so fuck ‘em." I never really got into Sonic Youth but I never really didn't get into them either. I was too busy chasing Britpop and cute boys from Manchester. HOWEVER, I cannot believe you didn't mention 100%! Also, I take umbrage with the comment about fucking off 50 year olds. As a newly minted 50 year old, I still remain the same aging alternative icon I was when I was 40. :p
