About this episode
Traci and Jon join the show to discuss the career and legacy of Phil Collins, one of the most legendary musicians of all time. We focus on Collins’ solo career and explore a wide range of topics, including his years with Genesis, his catalog of massively successful songs (“In the Air Tonight,” “You’ll Be in My Heart,” among others), and his legendary performances at Live Aid. We also discuss why he deserves a second induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Traci's campaign Get Phil Voted In raises awareness to help get Collins inducted into the Rock and preserve his legacy as a pop culture icon. And while you're at it...fill out her campaign's form to share your fandom and consider supporting their effort via Patreon.
