Yes, its a bit odd. A west-london drummer for a progressive rock band, turned FM-pop star taking a keen interest in Texas Independence History. Who would have imagined?

He knows what he likes. And he likes what he knows. :)
Ironic that an Englishman is a fan of Texas (and American) independence. How about we deport the phony Irishman from the Whitehouse back to his roots to compensate.
He was playing with Brand X at the same time he was in Genesis. They weren't exactly a progressive band, more fusiony. He really cut loose on the drums with them, though.
Example here:
Malaga Virgen (1977)
I went to a party of this British TV producer near Malibu 2 years ago and I can confidently say he has one of the biggest collection of old western guns ever collected. More than 100. It was unreal. Surrounded by posters of John Wayne and Gary cooper.
I asked him why he got into collecting old American western stuff and he told me when he was a lad’ in London all he wanted to watch were cowboy movies. Apparently his dad went to Hollywood back in the 60’s and worked with John Wayne..
