Without Frontiers

Started reading, "Without Frontiers - The Life and Music of Peter Gabriel." In the prologue there's a story about Gabriel getting back together with Genesis for a benefit concert to pay off a huge debt resulting from the first concert by the organization he created to promore World Music, WOMAD, A bit of history previously unknown to me. There's never been much that's been widely shared about the Peter Gabriel story. The book should be a revelation to longtime listeners of his music.  

On the sleeve: "Without Frontiers gets to the heart of the psychological threads common to so many of Gabriel's disparate endeavors and in the end a picture emerges of a man who, despite his high profile, has somehow managed to live an enviably normal life through it all."
