Poskytne informace o jeho hudební a herecké kariéře, díle a o tom, jak ovlivnil populární hudbu 80. let 20. století a hudbu současnosti. V závislosti na dostupnosti literárních a internetových zdrojů se pokusím tato témata propojit a utvořit z nich jeden celek. Zejména pomocí zpracování určitých událostí soukromého života, které měly nemalý dopad na jeho tvorbu. Dále se budu zabývat jeho působením v kapele GENESIS, sólovou kariérou a celkovým dopadem této osobnosti na scénu moderní pop music. Práce je rozdělena do pěti kapitol. Každá z nich obsahuje podkapitoly, které se podrobněji zaměřují na daný obsah. Cílem této práce je seznámení veřejnosti s osobností Phila Collinse a poskytnutí možnosti pochopit opravdový záměr jeho počínání a práce, protože je jednou z nejzajímavějších osobností populární hudby. „Jmenuji se Phil Collins a jsem bubeník a už vím, že nejsem nesmrtelný. Tohle je můj příběh.“ 1 2 Dětství a první úspěchy 1 Collins, P.: Ještě žiju, s. 14 2 2.1 Rodina Phil Collins, celým jménem Phillip David Charles Collins, se narodil 30. ledna 1951 v anglickém městě Chiswick, přesněji v porodnici na jihozápadním londýnském předměstí Putney. Jeho otec Greville Phillip Austin Collins pracoval jako pojišťovací agent firmy London Assurance a matka Winifred June Strange byla zaměstnankyní divadelní agentury. Phil je nejmladším ze tří sourozenců a byl jediným dítětem, které se manželům Collinsovým narodilo v Londýně. Starší sourozenci, bratr Clive a sestra Carole, se oba narodili v pobřežním městě Weston-super-Mare. Greville Collins byl z poměrně přísné a staromódní rodiny a to se podepsalo na jeho chování a přístupu k dětem. Nikdy se nesmířil s modernizací společnosti v druhé polovině 20. století a s obrovskou svobodou a možnostmi, které tato doba poskytovala. Dále trval na zavedených pravidlech a hesle nevyčnívat, které mu tak vehementně vštěpovala od dětství jeho rodina. Phil ve své knize Ještě žiju2 několikrát zdůraznil, že jeho vztah s otcem byl velice chladný a odměřený. Nepopřel však, že je otci v některých směrech dosti podobný. June Collinsová, rodilá Londýňanka, pocházela z méně striktní rodiny, ale většina jejích příbuzných zemřela dříve, než je měl mladý Phil možnost poznat. Philova babička Nana, z matčiny strany, se velice významně podílela na jeho dětství, stejně jako samotná June, která své děti vždy podporovala. I přes nevelkou přízeň ze strany otce se všechny tři děti daly vlastní cestou. Starší bratr Clive3 je velice uznávaným kreslířem a sestra Carole4 se stala krasobruslařkou. Když byly Philovi čtyři roky, rodina se přestěhovala do města Hounslow, na západ od Londýna, kde chodil na základní školu Nelson Infants School. 2 Collins, Phil, Ještě žiju, autobiografie, 2017, s. 3 Collins, Clive, tajemník britské asociace kreslířů a vicepresident klubu kreslířů Velké Británie. V roce 2011 byl jmenován členem řádu britského impéria. 4 Collins, Carole, bývalá profesionální krasobruslařka, později známější jako herečka a zaměstnankyně divadelní agentury spojené se školou Barbary Speakeové. 3 V tomto malém městě rodina zůstala po celou dobu Collinsova dospívání. Našel zde své první přátele a prožíval s nimi mladistvá léta, která se nevyhnula prvním zkušenostem s alkoholem ani pouličním rvačkám. Mladý Phil Collins měl poměrně bezstarostné a šťastné dětství na předměstí. Jeho vášní se v pubertě stal fotbal, kouření čehokoliv, herectví a hlavně hudba. Později můžeme v textech jeho písní vidět, jak moc jeho rodina a první lásky ovlivnily jeho tvorbu. 2.2 Herectví Jako dítě se Phil zúčastnil několika hudebních a hereckých soutěží, a to hlavně díky zaměstnání své matky June Collinsové, která spolupracovala s Barbarou Speakeovou5. Phil byl v této době na střední škole v Chiswick County a byla mu nabídnuta možnost zahrát si na West Endu6. V roce 1964 ho obsadili do role Lišáka Ferina v muzikálu Oliver!, v adaptaci novely Charlese Dickense Oliver Twist. Ovšem školní povinnosti se neslučovaly s divadelními zkouškami a nácvikem, a proto, po domluvě s rodiči a vedením školy, zanechal studia a ve třinácti letech nastoupil na talentovou školu paní Barbary Speakeové. Tu absolvoval v roce 1968. Barbara Speakeová v rozhovoru pro divadelní magazín The Stage 7 na otázku „So what were the turning points in this remarkable success story?“ odpověděla následovně: “The arrival of a Mrs Collins and her son Philip was a major one. He was an ideal pupil, never in trouble,”.8 S muzikálem Oliver! se Collinsovi naskytla první příležitost zpívat, ale pouze rok po uvedení první premiéry začal mutovat a byl tak přinucen divadelní prkna opustit. 5 Speake, Barbara, zakladatelka talentové školy Barbara Speake Stage School v Londýně. Škola funguje od roku 1945 a je nejdéle fungující talentovou školou na světě. 6 West End, místo proslavené svými divadly a zábavními podniky. Nachází se v centru Londýna. Název West End se začal užívat na začátku 19. století. 7 The Stage, britský týden a webová stránka zaměřující se na zábavu, umění a zejména divadlo. Založeno v roce 1880. 8 Magazín The Stage, https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/2005/speake-up-for-drama-barbara-speake/ 4 V této době ještě netušil, že se na konci 60. let do muzikálu na krátkou dobu vrátí v dospělé roli Noaha Claypola. Zajímavostí je, že jeho dětský kamarád Jack Wilde, který s ním hrál v tomto muzikálu vedlejší postavu Charleyho Batese, později ztvárnil postavu Lišáka Ferina ve filmové verzi Olivera Twista z roku 1968. V režii Carola Reeda 9 získal tento film jedenáct nominací na Oscara – cen Akademie filmového umění, z nichž proměnil pět. June Collinsová věděla o velké lásce svého mladšího syna k THE BEATLES a díky svému zaměstnání měla spoustu příležitostí, jak Philovi umožnit účast ve světě showbyznysu, a to i po boku tak velkých hvězd, jakými byli „brouci“. Ve své autobiografii Collins vzpomíná na londýnské divadlo Scala 10, kde byla natáčena poslední scéna z celovečerního filmu Perný den 11. Scéna byla zvláštní tím, že do poslední chvíle nikdo v sále nevěděl, co se bude dít, protože producenti filmu a režisér Richard Lester chtěli přirozenou reakci publika. Součástí publika byl i teprve třináctiletý Collins, ale na plátnech kin se po boku THE BEATLES nikdy neobjevil, protože záběry s ním nikdy neprošly přes finální střih. Svůj obdiv k hudebním idolům mohl Collins vyjádřit na začátku 90. let, kdy byl osloven s prosbou o namluvení komentáře k filmu o filmu Perný den. Své vystřižené záběry nakonec díky tomu dostal. Jako dětský herec se později objevil ve filmu Calamity the Cow 12 z roku 1967 a o 9 Reed, Carol, narozen stejně jako Phil Collins v Putney. Režíroval film The Third Man, jenž byl zvolen britským filmovým institutem jako ´Nejlepší britský film 20. století. 10 Scala, divadlo nacházející se v Londýně. Poprvé otevřeno v roce 1772. Bylo zničeno ohněm v roce 1969. 11 Perný den, muzikálová komedie pojednávající o éře The Beatles a popisující několik z jejich obyčejných dnů. Napsána Alunem Owenem. 12 Calamity the Cow, film vytvořený pro Dětskou filmovou nadaci v roce 1967. Příběh vytvořila Kerry Eastmanová. Režisérem se stal David Eastman. 5 rok později v Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 13, do kterého se bohužel opět kvůli finálnímu střihu nedostal. 2.3 Hudba Phil byl neuvěřitelně sluchově nadaný chlapec a učil se sám pouze z poslechu písní a zvukových vjemů, které mu poskytovalo okolí. Svoje první bubny dostal v 5 letech. Šlo o provizorní sadu bubnů sestavenou z plechovek a doma nalezeného materiálu, kterou mu vyrobili strýčkové. Tato podomácku složená bicí souprava Collinsovi vydržela překvapivě několik let. S jeho viditelně narůstajícím zájmem a schopnostmi rostly i požadavky na kvalitnější nástroj. V průběhu dospívání vystřídal několik bubenických souprav, na které mu finančně, včetně jeho samotného, přispívali hlavně rodiče. V roce 1963 měl svou první profesionální sadu bubnů značky Stratford. Část soupravy můžeme vidět na obalu alba Going back z roku 2000.14 Jako další následovala souprava Ludwig a od roku 1983 bicí souprava Gretsch. Na začátku 60. let přichází beatlemánie 15 a začíná utvářet obraz budoucí rockové a popové scény. Další seskupení, jako například THE ROLLING STONES, THE ANIMALS, THE KINKS, THE WHO, MONKEES nebo THE FOUR TOPS, oslovila Phila svými hudebními styly a on se je snažil napodobovat. Ovšem vedle rockových legend byl Collins ovlivněn i jazzem, a to jmény jako jsou Buddy Rich, Count Basie nebo bubeník Sonny Payne. Jazzová hudba se výrazně promítla do jeho pozdější tvorby. Pro Británii byla 60. léta jedním

  • Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos
    102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.

It has endured in the face of the changing times, without itself changing much, isolated off in its own world. Glorfindel had the opinion that Bombadil would be the last to fall, after all else was lost, last as he was first. In Tolkien’s story, that opinion was never tested. Good triumphed over evil, and everyone lived happily ever after. Not true on the Internet. Since 1993, the forces of evil have created a desolation and oppression that Sauron even with the help of his ruling ring could not imagine perpetrating. From the days of the Internet as an academic research network until today’s Internet I have witnessed ruination unbelieveable. The decay, corruption, and runiation of the Internet boggles my mind. Like Tom Bombadil in his carefully demarcated borders, The Genesis Discography has been an island in the storm, surrounded on all sides but never giving in.
