Because Phil Collins did some great stuff way back in the day.  Check out his drumming with Eno.
 
 Also, what would the movie "American Psycho" be without the following:
 
 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 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 anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. 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 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.

Because any guy who faxes a divorce request to his wife is going to make the rest of us guys look good by comparison.

That's still way better than  Newt Gingrich (http://www.robertscheer.com/1_natcolumn/99_columns/081799.htm) (check out the third paragraph).

Because we needed Phil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBdUz_IJ4VA) to pave the way for  the Hoff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm-2_XX26LY).

So that my friends and I would laugh that every time we hung out in this bar in Chicago, they played Phil Collins.
 
 We call it the Phil Collins bar.  I don't even know the real name of it.
 
 But, I do know it stays open until 4:30am and serves cheap drinks.

I would like to take this opportunity, after many glasses of Hefeweizen, to thank you all for your very funny responses to my 100th post. What are the ethical rules regarding stealing these lines and passing them off as one's own when in need of witty barroom repartee?
 
 
 by the way, who is "Eno"?

Jag....I'm really hoping his question was an attempt at sarcasm.
