Molden David Faison used to be a hearing officer for the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication, in which capacity he heard parking ticket appeals. Federal prosecutors accuse him of using his job, and the promise of dismissing parking tickets, to attempt to get different kinds of tickets for himself to "concerts by Phil Collins, Prince, Barry Manilow and sports events." (And we accuse him of crimes of bad musical taste. C'mon, if you're going to extort somebody for tickets, at least go for better shows than those!) He is specifically alleged to have, in August 2004, extorted "$169 worth of tickets to a Prince concert" (which we thought was equal to one ticket, but it's actually two). Unfortunately for Faison, his contact was working with the Feds and was wearing a wire during their meetings. Unfortunately for the Feds, the contact, their star witness, is also a convicted drug dealer. Should be interesting to see how this turns out...

If so, there's a whole other Genesis just waiting for you to discover. In the early '70s, the band Genesis was fronted by Peter Gabriel, and was writing and performing incredible, epic, complex, theatrical, beautifully orchestrated, metal-style progressive rock story-songs. Genesis in that form sadly no longer exists (although Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford, and Phil Collins are announcing officially at a press conference on November 7th that they're getting back together and going on tour next year; here's hoping there are some Philly dates - and that they play some of their '70s stuff), but we do have their old albums to listen to (classics like Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway), and for the live experience, we have The Musical Box.
