Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill

How Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill inadvertently became a Hollywood soundtrack staple.

Big fan of both Peter Gabriel and Solsbury Hill. Always thought the song was based upon the book I Heard the Owl Call My Name but I'm probably mistaken on that (though the book and song do synch up very nicely).

While we're talking about Peter Gabriel - I should mention that I consider his 1986 album So to be one of the so called "perfect albums" where every song is great and it would be hard picturing changing anything.

    Saw his tour in support of the first PG album, with Robert Fripp/Dusty Rhodes.
    I agree with you about the album So
