For more than three decades, Collins has gathered Alamo-era artifacts. His first piece was a horse-saddle receipt owned by Alamo survivor and mail-carrier John Smith.

With items like Jim Bowie's knife, and Davy Crockett's gun powder pouch, the state has plans to build a permanent visitors center.

Whatever happened with him getting booted out of his house by his exwife and her armed bodyguard/lover...

At least I think that's the way it went down if I remember correctly.

I'm curious how long it'll be until the woke crowd calls the Alamo a relic of white supremacy.

It will be easy. The Texas Revolution, like the Civil War can be distilled down to slavery if you choose to do it. Unfortunately, Texas (and the defenders of the Alamo) can be characterized as fighting to preserve slavery.

Phil Collins seems like an unlikely ambassador for the Alamo.

I figured Ozzy Osbourne would have been the better ambassador.
