My college roommate was the stepson of a fellow who had written some very well known books about a particular old west legend. He was
Considered something of an expert and hired to consult on movies and things like that. In his old age he bragged that he could go down to an antique store, but an old razor for $1 and write a certificate that it had belonged to the legend and it would sell for hundreds.

Caveat emptor.

Am I the only one who automatically rejects anything written by a “journalist”? Especially one with a career with AP.

Piss on Collins all you want, but it says alot that an English man showed more interest and invested more money attempting to preserve and collect history on the most important historical event in Texas history, that Texans, (for all their bloaviating) didn’t seem to give a crap about. I’ll lay money the Smithsonian has a bunch stuff with no chain of custody or papers with authenticity either.

“the Collins collection is not what it’s cracked up to be” Wow, just like his “music”.

He was a moon around Peter Gabriel's planet. When Gabriel left Genesis, it was over for Collins in his twee overalls.

I cannot stand Phil Collins, if I ever want to get a headache all I gotta do is listen to his crap for a few minutes and I’m there, especially that moronic beer commercial he does “In the air tonight”. The military should do away with waterboarding and replace it with that song. 2 minutes listening to that crap any terrorist will talk
