Before I'm off to confront Darth Real Life on a new day: all the new images of Pluto certainly pleased my space romancing heart, but what made me start this morning with a smile was this:

And then he started trying to spin the demotion like it was a positive. Look at Phil Collins, he said. He was an ex-member of Genesis but then he had this huge solo career.

I’m the Pete Best of the goddamn solar system.

I shall forever think of Pluto as Pete Best now.

The question then becomes, who is Neil Peart/Ringo in the solar system? :)
