A Brit who lives in Switzerland has an Alamo collection. How strange is that?

U2 did a brilliant job capturing the mystique of the Southwest in their Joshua Tree album.

He is a very working class cockney from London. I know the whole Genesis story chapter and verse. The rest of the band - Gabriel, Rutherford and Banks graduated from a very exclusive private (called public in the UK) high school. Hackett (guitarist) was more middle class from Pimlico in London.
Phil was also a very good drummer.

Not strange at all. I am not a fan of his or any contemporary music. But Phil Collins has a recorded presentation online at the Alamo. He talks about the battle and some of the people involved. I've never heard it, but people I know who have say it's quite a nice presentation.

I do know that many Europeans are very into the whole Old West culture and eat it up in movies and shows from the US.
The fact that he is into this particular battle is not surprising if you have experience with it. I ran into a couple from Belgium in Gettysburg, PA, and they knew the history of the battle inside and out.
