Yeah its a shame about Phil Collins, at least he cant preform anymore. That song, as you say, was his prime alright. And that really was peak 1980s for sure. Music can do wonders alright - I do a lot of writing to music, I find that it effects me and puts images in my mind. Helps with my imagination.
About Alex Jones, I had not heard that about the killer being a car thief.
About the Patents, all I found was something on Google patents: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9029836B2/en?oq=9029836
Is that what you mean?
Thanks!
