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 relics
https://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.

must have been a misunderstanding

(She's an) Easy Alamo Relic

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
You better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

No Provenance Required

"verified by psychics"

LOL...got to say I love this as a phrase. Nancy Raygun bought into that BS.

Sounds like lost BOC tune (by either one).

Pseu-Pseu-Pseudamo

Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
There's a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there's a hole in a windowpane
Do you think I'm to blame
Tell me, do you think I'm to blame

Alamo
you're never there
When you show it
You stop and stare
Alamo
He's in anywhere
Alamo

Now that he knows the truth, he's throwing it all away

Doesn’t any relic keep its value anymore?

"Well I remember, I remember the Alamo
How could I ever forget"

Davy Crockett & Tubbs

All of this time
I still remember everything you faked

This thread is in danger of overtaking "Make a song title more reasonable" as the worst.

Phil Collins spent millions on fake Alamo relics

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!"

"These artifacts were found...in the basement."

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.

YES

played by Meryl Streep
