My friend Teddy called me earlier: “Any plans for tonight? Yes, busy busy. Well.. I’ve got tickets for Peter Gabriel. Oh, I think I can make time after all.” So he picks me up in his Mercedes convertible, and before I know it Peter starts working the crowd. Ss a Gabriel newbie, I could focus on the gadgets: Segway-riding for “Games without frontiers”, into-a-big-bouncy-transparent-sphere-climbing and rolling-around-the-stage for “Growing up”, and some funky-low-fi-bulb-jacket for “Sledgehammer”. I liked the show quite a bit, and also the story about the growing up of an apache kid who was deserted on a hilltop for 14 days after having been bitten by a snake. I’m glad I don’t have to earn my merit that way.
