Rock/History artifacts PING
A Brit who lives in Switzerland has an Alamo collection. How strange is that?
I remember seeing the Davy Crockett movies, too. Some 60 years later, I got to see the Alamo. I was shocked! You have to go outside to change your mind. It really made me appreciate how such a small group of men managed to hold off such a major attack.
Interesting. I live 70 miles from the Alamo, Phil Collins lives in Switzerland and knows more about it’s physical history than I do. Of course being a rock star he’s got the $$$ to buy the artifacts. Should be an interesting book.
My husband spent a day at the Alamo in July, and we were surprised to find out how much artifacts Phil Collins owns. I think he even donated some of his possessions to the museum. It was a wonderful experience, and to realize the history that is encompassed there. We really enjoyed it.
Collins’ collection includes a variety of weapons, armaments clothing from the fort, as well as receipt for nearly three dozen head of cattle signed by Alamo commander William B. Travis and another signed receipt for a horse saddle owned by Alamo survivor and early San Antonio Mayor John W. Smith.
Alamo survivor???
Phil...Your a great performer, but I have a feeling you got taken for a ride on this one...
I won’t trust anything by Phil Collins. I attended his expensive non-Genesis concert years ago and he stopped the music to lecture us about how we treat our homeless. I love wealthy entertainers who tell me I have to donate more money to their new cause. Putz.
I yelled out “just play music!” and I got burning stares from every direction.
The link only takes you to the front page and I cant seem to find the article youre talking about...help? please?
Hilarious. Back in the late 80s, I had a girlfriend who was in love with this guy. I was, needless to say, mystified, but I guess her instincts were pretty good.
Phil’s new tune has relevance to the topic at hand ...
