Singer Phil Collins said his life now revolves around the Alamo.Perhaps Collins was hallucinating about being one of General Santa Ana’s soldiers when unleashing his faux-Mexican accent in “Illegal Alien”:
Collins is in town, set to appear at local events commemorating the anniversary of the siege and battle of the Alamo. Though he's mulling the idea of recording a tribute cover album of 1960s songs, he said he's making the Alamo “my main thing” as a collector, history buff and possible author.
“Basically, now I've stopped being Phil Collins the singer. This has become what I do,” he said Monday, standing beside a 13-foot-by-15-foot model of the 1836 Alamo compound that will open to the public this week…
“He's very well read,” said Jim Guimarin, who owns the History Shop and has traveled with Collins to battle sites.
