bluegargantuaHey,
So, as all good bleeding heart liberal hippies do, I'm listening to NPR and they're talking to Phil Collins about his new album where he covers Motown hits of the 60's. And hey, it's Phil Collins faithfully reproducing the Motown sound except he's the one singing so...ok.
Anyway, at the end, they mention that Mr. Collins appears to have one of the largest collections of Alamo memorabilia in the world. Yeah, the Alamo of Texas where Davy Crockett croaked it. Collins has a ton of stuff from the battle. He mentioned that it's become his passion and that he's writing a book due out next year.
I can't tell you how much I want to read that book. It's of only minor interest that it's Phil Collin's whose a major Alamo geek, I just want to read about someone obsessed with the idea of collecting Alamo artifacts.
