Phil Collins and the Alamo

Yes, Phil Collins the British singer is fascinated with the Alamo. D Magazine.  Peter Simek begins his article "File this under most random celebrity obsession: British rock star, former Genesis man, and one of those rare drummer/front men, Phil Collins, has an obsession with the Alamo. In fact, he has the largest private collection of Alamo memorabilia in the world. He will be in Dallas on May 10 to speak about his life and the collection at the Dallas Historical Society. There is more information in the release after the jump (but please ignore the ridiculousness of the unqualified remark about Collins being the best drummer in the world contained therein). Also, note to Phil Collins: Begin every lecture with the drum intro from "In the Air Tonight" and your audiences will swell."  Read more about it .... http://frontrow.dmagazine.com/2010/05/phil-collins%E2%80%99-alamo-obsession/
