Although there does seem to be a scarcity of songs about Proctologists. So that's a hole that could be filled.

I only got to see Genesis once, the first post Steve Hackett tour. It wasn't bad, but the highlight was Peter Gabriel joining them for I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe. Saw Gabriel for the Scratch LP and that was great.

Hi Joe and All, Are you familiar with the Junior Brown song "Joe the Singing Janitor"? That would fit really well with this theme. It's on his album Semi-Crazy. That album also has a song about truck driver, though country does not lack for songs about them, such as Merle Haggard song "White Line Fever" or the song you are playing now.
