Phil Collins is an Alamo fan? Did not see that coming.
Wow! Take a look at him now.
They’re brining the stolen bicycle out of the basement?
I’m also an Alamo fan. I’ve driven the Mission Trail in San Antonio and visited Washington-on-the-Brazos, Goliad and the battlefields at Coleto Creek and San Jacinto.
Ozzy already had one...
I recall reading some years back that Titanic author Walter Lord (A Night to Remember) was basically a walking encyclopedia about the Alamo (in addition to being one about the infamous ship).
Honorary Texan and should be applauded for his generous gift to preservation of Texas History.
This had been known for a long time. His gift is one of a kind. I’d shake his hand and thank him personally if I ever met him over this more than any song he could have written or played. A gift to everyone forever. How often do you get that?

The Alamo to launch temporary preview of ‘Phil Collins Collection’ on Texas Independence Day; After Tuesday, it will be available for guests who purchase an audio tour for $7 a person. - WE WERE PROMISED THAT THERE WOULD NEVER BE A CHARGE TO SEE THE ALAMO. THANK YOU PEE BUSH!!! Don’t move the Cenotaph. Move Pee Bush...
Texas Ping.
This will be awesome!
Somewhere back in time there was a thread here at FR about Phil Collins buying an old building close to the Alamo just so he could excavate inside the foundation where he found many Alamo artifacts.
I heard that Santana’s army sang “it no fun being an illegal alien...” as they marched on the Alamo
Collins said he’s been fascinated since he watched the old Disney TV series, “Davy [sic] Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.”
The collection includes one of only four rifles known still existing and documented to have been owned by Col. Crockett (which, unless I’m mistaken, doubles the number of Crockett rifles in the Alamo collection).
Lowest estimate I’ve read on how much he spent on all that stuff was $8 million.
