You Can't Make This Stuff Up ...
"Mama" is a song by the English rock band #Genesis, released as the first single in 1983 from their self-titled album. It is recognisable for its harsh #drumMachine introduction composed by #MikeRutherford, which leads into minimalist synthesizer lines in a minor tonality and finally #PhilCollins' #reverb-laden voice. It remains the band's most successful single in the UK, peaking at No. 4 on the #UKSinglesChart. It also made the top 10 in Switzerland, Austria, Norway.

The Living Years

Paul Young of Mike and the Mechanics fame died on this day 25 years ago.

“So, we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts”
