Have you seen Peter Gabriel lately? I mean, have you seen him? Well, I did the otro d�a, and let me tell you hijos, I nearly died from the shock.

Here I was, flipping through the p�ginas of the local peri�dico, looking for algo to do este fin de semana, when I saw an ad announcing an upcoming Peter Gabriel show at the Staples Center in L*s *ng*l*s.

"�Padru�ris!" I exclaimed, recordando those not-so-distant d�as when I -- along with 250 of my high school classmates -- was Sr. Gabriel's biggest fan. "Ah� is my oportunidad to see the dark, misterioso global-techno-popper of anta�o in action! Live on a spectacular center stage, and in such an intimate setting, too!"

I scanned the ad for detalles. It featured ticket informaci�n and a foto of a worried-looking old gnome holding a piano keyboard. "Hmm," I thought, "What's with the gnome? Is there a reason Peter Gabriel is suddenly going all Lord of the Rings?"

Then, with dawning horror, I realized the gnome was Peter Gabriel. Aaiii!

I've long since become acostumbrada to hearing my favorite canciones turned into jingles for anti-reflux drugs, and meeting people who can't name the original members of Rush, but when the rock stars of my youth start resembling garden sculpture, you know things have gotten pretty bad for my generaci�n.
