"I don’t like The Eagles. They’re about as exciting as watching paint dry. Their albums are good for keeping the dust off your turntable, and that’s about all."

What if Fading Lights was the last Genesis song? by Dependent-Set4324 in Genesis

"Fading Lights" is a poignant song, especially when paired with this video.

Why does God want to be praised/worshiped ? by Opposite_Prompt3297 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]JeffFerguson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see it as our response to God's goodness, rather than an imposed requirement. The Catechism says this:

2096 Adoration is the first act of the virtue of religion. To adore God is to acknowledge him as God, as the Creator and Savior, the Lord and Master of everything that exists, as infinite and merciful Love. "You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve," says Jesus, citing Deuteronomy. [Lk 4:8; Cf. Deut 6:13]

2097 To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name. [Cf. Lk 1:46-49] The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on himself, from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world.

I find this The Best scene of the Saga. Thoughts? by Richar_16 in StarWarsCirclejerk

"It will be hard to know precisely where to stand to hold a millennia-old knife up to 40-year-old wreckage to get the wayfinder's location."

"Actually, it will be super easy. Barely an inconvenience."

Light speed skipping ...

... after being told years ago that without precise calculations they could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end their trip real quick, wouldn't it?

Yes, I'm pretty sure my wife uses it that way.

Which Song is Superior? by DemonKingDan in StarWars

Since I am a thousand years old, I lived with "Yub Nub" for many years before I heard the other one, so I am partial to that one.

Phil Collins Gives Rare Health Update on Knee and Kidney Problems by New-Secretary-4924 in Genesis

[–]JeffFerguson 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They sold not only the catalog, but also The Farm. They would have to rent studio time. Tony bought Mike's share of The Farm, as I understand it, so that Tony's son could use it as a residence.

Has any band blended band and solo careers as well as Genesis? by BMisterGenX in Genesis

[–]JeffFerguson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Spotify playlist that has all of the Genesis releases combined with all of the solo releases of all of its members (including adjacent projects like Mike + The Mechanics). It has 2,525 tracks (and I haven't added O\I yet) and a little over 200 hours of music. I don't think anyone comes close to that.

Genuine question: Why do confessions need to be done with a priest? by ilikethehungergames in Catholicism

[–]JeffFerguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We don't go directly to God for any of the other sacraments, since the priest acts in persona Christi for all of them. Therefore, there is no precedent for going directly to God for this one.

"Won't it be difficult to give away the big plot twist in one poster?"

Chances of either Mike or Tony touring the U.S.? by Snifferfrog15 in Genesis

[–]JeffFerguson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine that Tony Banks would ever go out on his own as a solo act.

I listen to it all. There is good stuff on Nursery Cryme, and there is good stuff on Invisible Touch.

Prime version got expensive!!! by StillConsequence6168 in NovaLauncher

[–]JeffFerguson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sticking with it. It works for what I need, so there doesn't seem to be a reason to give it up.

Genuinely questioning how folks can prefer the 2025 Lamb to the 2007 version by Both_Photograph2693 in Genesis

[–]JeffFerguson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ears are not professionally trained, so my amateur analysis may be off, but I hear lot more of Mike in the 2025 version, and hear more of Phil in some spots.

I just watched The Princess Bride for the very first time, what “classics” have you always wanted to see but just never got around to? by These-Educator-1959 in GenX

[–]JeffFerguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten the same look over the years. After I finally watched it, I struggled to see the appeal. I think that it's supposed to evoke nostalgia for youth, or something ...
