Phil Collen Quotes
I surprised my dad with a car for his birthday a couple of years ago, a BMW wrapped in ribbon, Jacki did that to me last Christmas. We had a party at our house and I was upstairs playing mixes of the album for Joey Allen and Rudy Sarzo. Jacki says there's kids fighting in the driveway, and I go outside and there's a Corvette with a bow around it. Everyone knew about it but me.
