On February 15th Phil Collins Day will make its triumphant return. Last year a parade in Greenpoint was held in honor of the former Genesis drummer, but as organizer Heather Feather explained to us at the time, the celebration changes each year. This year will mark the 6th ever Phil Collins Day, and she tells us that "plans are in full swing" and details should be solidified soon. For now, they've got their website up, which is currently a little cryptic, reading:
Come confess your own love, obsession, heart break, exploration and degradation of love. Feb 15. Phil Collins Confessional.
We'll update when we find out WHAT THIS MEANS. In the meantime, let's ponder: is it time to give Hall & Oates their own day this year?
UPDATE: Heather Feather tells us, "This year there will be a Phil Collins confessional booth, upon which people will design masks, enter the booth with their secrets in hand, and reveal them to the camera. The confidential footage will be sent to Phil Collins himself, a man who truly understands the trials, tribulations and trueness of love, and puts them to a good beat."
