i think rob should come to the front. we already know he can sign (from the
ghostwriters). kind of like when peter gabriel left genesis and phil collins
(the drummer) came to the front to take over. i think a drummer/singer is a
great combination.  - however there would no longer be the crazy thrashing
front man if rob had to be behind a drum kit the whole time! - and that
would suck, but it would suck even more if someone tried to imitate peter.
