25: We Never Played by the Same Rules, Anyway


25. "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins {#39; 2/83} [Video: I Don't Care Anymore.]

I believe this song comes from the album that features a close-up picture of the face of Phil Collins on the cover.

I kid Phil Collins. Because of his album covers. Because he deserves it. But, dang he sure knew how to channel that anger into some good songs! (Maybe if he gets pissed enough from me teasing him about his album covers, he'll start making some good, angry music again.)

I think that's what really drew me to Phil Collins to begin with. It was the anger and the angst.

I had never known heartache, but I could tell that Phil Collins had. Phil Collins made a broken heart sound gloriously disastrous.

The Anger and the Angst

Later, when Phil had less reason to be angry, he just wasn't as good. But, that's okay, because if you were to ask him, I think Phil would say, "I don't care no more. No more, no more. No more, no more. No more, no more. No more, no more. No more, no more. No more, no more."
