A London-born Brit cares more about the Alamo, than some left-wingers in Texas. Go figure.
(Nothing to do with Texas, but the song was pretty cool...)
Phil Collins' battle of the Alamo: Genesis frontman is caught in US race row after his donation of £10m worth of memorabilia for museum is accused of 'glorifying myth of a handful of whites against a Mexican horde'
- Collins, 70, has been obsessed since childhood with the battle and even believes he is a reincarnation of one of those defenders
- The Genesis frontman donated his hoard is weapons, clothing, letters and other artifacts from the legendary siege of the Alamo of 1836
- Critics argue the collection helps perpetuate a narrative that focuses only on the battle's white leaders and ignores Latinos, Native Americans and black figures
