    $300m? Who the fuck bought Phil Collins's catalog for the same price that the masters for Taylor Swift's first 6 albums went for?

    Collins is a shivering bag of skin nowadays, what the fuck does he need more money for? Oh yeah, of course, he moved to Switzerland for the exact purpose of paying less tax. That's why.

    Genesis post-Gabriel were always fucking rank.
