• Elaina from Charlotte, NcI wonder what that man on the street corner who’s yelling to the people that go by wants. Either he’s crazy or he wants something. But I think he’s crazy. He just stands there on the corner and yells at those who pass him. They just ignore him.

• Jim from Long Beach, CaWell said Stella. I have never been homeless but I don't belive that all of them are mentally ill,just bad luck and an array of misfortunes unfortunately. Kudoe for you working with the homeless.Keep it up and God Bless..
• Stella from London, United KingdomJoel's statement perfectly illustrates the point Phil Collins makes in the song that many people make assumptions about the homeless but are reluctant and/or unwilling to understand homelessness or help people.
  
  'And nobody knows him
  And nobody cares
  'Cos there's no hiding place
  There's no hiding place
  For you, and me
  Are we just like all the rest?
  We're looking too hard for something he's got
  Or moving too fast to rest...'
  
  I have been homeless, street homeless, in November and December in deep snow and subzero temperatures so I know what it's like. And I have no history of either mental illness or emotional disturbance. I also work with the homeless in London and despite not having a home a large minority of them either work or study. There is no link between not having anywhere to live and mental illness. Trust me.
• Joel from Columbia, ScMore than likely the homeless man was mentally ill. A lot of homeless are ill.
• Jesse from L.a., CaThe B-side to the "Man On the Corner" single was an instrumental track called "Submarine." It was released on Genesis' box set 'Genesis Archive #2: 1976-1992'.
