Forgot he won an Oscar over South Park - and never knew they took it this badly.

Anyway, I found Trey Anastasio's HOF induction speech for Genesis, and he really makes the case for them, especially at the end when he makes it clear that a lot of people probably don't know how good they really were (or could be):

Phil Collins spent millions on fake Alamo relicshttps://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/next-battle-of-alamo/
His dealer kept finding items with the initials of famous Alamo people on them, only visible after he put some solvent on them.
Collins bought a knife supposedly belonging to Jim Bowie for $1.5 million. It had been verified as authentic by consulting with psychics.
Many collectors’ puzzlement grew when Collins’s The Alamo and Beyond was published, in 2012. The gorgeously illustrated book is a source of profound skepticism in the Alamo collecting and archaeological worlds. “Just about everything they said was used at the Alamo—these are not Alamo-related items,” says Thomas Nuckols, who volunteers as an archaeological consultant to the Texas Historical Commission and is an expert on Alamo-era artifacts. “A lot of us enjoyed the book just because of the silliness of it.”
The article gets into the ridiculousness of Texas politics in the second half.

I'd like to think this was some sort of crazy divorce tactic. Like, "you want my money? All right, you can have it...as shitty fake Alamo souvenirs!"

Hahahaha…there’s no basement in the alamo! Hahahaa

Virtually the only thing I know about the alamo is that there's no basement. Phil's obsession is rather unusual for a brit.

His playing on Tears for Fears' "Woman in Chains" is so subtle and great. He has such a great grasp of groove.

The only thing I know about the Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne peed on it.

We need a Behind The Candleabra but with Phil Collins in his prime, framed by this Alamo story.

Phil Collins' split from his third wife has landed him at the top of the list for the biggest divorce payout by a British celebrity in legal history, according to the U.K.'s Mirror. Collins, 57, reportedly paid Orianne Cevey, 35, $46.68 million, topping the Heather Mills-Paul McCartney divorce by $1 million.

At this point Phil Collen from Def Leppard could play Phil Collins, but only from the neck up. The rest should be mo-cap Andy Serkis.

Phil Collins even turned up in Miami Vice to play game show host/con man Phil “The Shill” Mayhew, who moved to Miami from London and quickly set about depleting the bank accounts of the city’s richest residents with a shady drug deal. pic.twitter.com/3C4ZsMs43l— Daniel Holland🎗 (@DannyDutch) August 4, 2021
