Grace Kelly responds...
"I can see that you're a person of integrity, wisdom, intelligence, and taste. Can you trace your bloodline back to medieval times? If so, have your social secretary call to arrange a formal introduction."
What your date might be like...
Princess Grace likes to be swept off her feet in a romantic whirlwind, preferably at a sunny resort that caters to the wealthy. Beyond that, she's a woman of simple needs who can appreciate beauty in the smallest of objects, such as a diamond, or in cute pet names, such as "Your Serene Highness."
Oh man...this is gonna be another Samote/Stefka I can just feel it

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

I don't see anything macabre in thatredguru said:Giger marries the macabre to the sexual quite well in his artwork. I'm more partial to Patrick Nagel's works though and still have on original Nagel serigraph hanging in my living room.
btw "macabre" one of the cooler words in the language

Trick of the Tail is in my personal top 10
Selling England by the Pound in there too-I first heard it in college on a set of Klipsch speakers and now own Klipsch speakers as my home theater set-up
The lamb lies down on Broadway my number one

A Trick of the Tail was the seventh studio album by the progressive rock band Genesis and the first to feature Phil Collins as full-time lead vocalist following the departure of original vocalist Peter Gabriel. It was released in February 1976.
Post-Gabriel Genesis
After Peter Gabriel left Genesis, the remaining members held auditions for a permanent lead singer, although some members (most notably Banks) considered continuing as an instrumental act, while most songs were written without knowledge as to how they would be sung. Initially, Phil Collins did not wish to take over from Gabriel, instead teaching the potential lead singers the songs. It has been noted over 400 people auditioned. One of the auditionees, Mick Strickland, came close, but the band and Strickland decided against working together in the end. According to the band members, the backing tracks for A Trick Of The Tail had already been recorded and were in a key in which Strickland was not comfortable singing. When the auditions failed to produce a suitable vocalist, Collins reluctantly went in the studio to sing "Squonk" and the band decided that Collins should be the new vocalist.
It's the only post_gabriel genesis album not pop

I have a memory of the Trick of the Tail tour in late 76/early 77, my older brother was going to take me (we lived right near from most of the concert venues), for some reason I remember being on the phone with some girl and telling him to go on...one of the best shows ever I heard.

No, it was Collins - also look at the other musicians on the tour...Bruford (Yes) took over drums for Collins - that is why they had two drummers so he could sing, and also Chester Thompson from Weather Report. Gabriel had taken off earlier to go solo and then play with Robert Fripp (King Crimson).
Personnel
Phil Collins - vocals, drums
Steve Hackett - guitar
Tony Banks - keyboards, backing vocals
Mike Rutherford - bass, guitar, backing vocals
[edit] Additional musicians
Chester Thompson - drums
Bill Bruford - drums on "Cinema Show"

Genesis' principle songwriters -- the three remaining Charterhouse members (Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel) -- were the recipients of an first class classical education from an elite boarding school in England. They had been exposed to the best that Western culture had to offer in terms of literature, poetry, and mythology. They put their learning to good use in the High Genesis period, which was dominated by songs either based upon or alluding to literature and mythology. Although Genesis has said that Watcher Of The Skies was the only science fiction based song they ever did, they did read sf very heavily during this period. The material in this period presents a certain challenge in accessibility, since even the most well-read and well-educated person could hardly be expected to be exposed to everything from which Genesis drew. Even if such a person had the appropriate exposure, the songs often couched the ideas in obscurity.
