What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

PETER GABRIEL " peter gabriel" 1980, vinyl. #1 uk, #29 au, #22 us.

this is the third of four consecutive releases by PG that are self titled.
not really a big fan of Genesis or the guys as solo artists, but do have one Genesis, two Phil, this one and a Mike and the mechanics album (which incidently i have already picked out and allotted for playing tomorrow).
now, i may be way off the mark here, but i feel this one has a very similar theme to PF's "the wall" in which a guy with problems shields himself behind his security blanket(the wall), in which his family/friends tries to pull him back to reality in thesongs "not one of us" and "lead a normal life"...not sure if they succeed or not, which is why i could be reading something in this album which isnt there????
the final track "biko" is a tribute to South Africaan anti-aparthied activist Steven Biko who was brutally murdered by SA police whilst in their custody.
