Alamo is new passion for Phil Collins

The San Antonio Express-News reports that singer Phil Collins' "main thing" is the Alamo:

Collins, who said he has "hundreds" of cannonballs, documents and other artifacts from the Alamo, is in San Antonio this week in conjunction with the anniversary of the March 1836 battle of the Alamo.

The collector and history buff's most prized item is a receipt signed by Alamo commander William Barret Travis for 32 head of cattle used to feed the Alamo defenders.

"Basically, now I've stopped being Phil Collins the singer. This has become what I do," he said.

He is scheduled to speak to the Alamo Defenders Descendants Association on Saturday [March 7].
