1. On
Phil's solo albums he often refers to himself in the credit list/liner notes as "PC". For instance in the "No Jacket Required" liner notes he writes stuff
like:
PC - Drums, Linn Drum Machine, bass, Oberheim OB-X, vocals
and so on.
2. At the
Genesis concert:
Sonny: Look at
Phil on the drums!
Rico: I'm surprised PC hasn't developed Popeye arms yet!
Wow!
3. PC's first movie role was just as a face in the crowd in "A Hard Day's Night" (yes, the Beatles flick). He's been on TV and he played a major role as a very notorious mail train robber in UK history in the 1988 film "Buster". It's based on an actual event that happened around 1963, but PC's comedic charm serves him well too. It's got his splendid version of "We Got a Groovy Kind of
Love" and his own Motown- influenced hit "Two Hearts". Both songs rocketed to #1 in America and elsewhere. Well worth checking out, PC and his talents really shine.
4. PC has also appeared on several other
people's albums, too numerous to list here. On "Both Sides" he does everything himself - all singing, instruments,production, etc. He's also done work on the "Tarzan" soundtrack (PC - WHY did you work with fucking N'SYNC on that one? Who spiked your drink? Bleeeccch!). Also check out some
Genesis and Brand X albums.
5. It was early July and I saw the musical guest PC play "Amazing
Grace" on the bagpipes on the Late Night show. After a commercial break Dave Letterman announced that the show was done - "that's all we have time for today and we'll see you Monday - no wait! We'll be back on
Tuesday, Monday is
American Independence Day". He looked at PC and said, "I guess that day doesn't mean anything to you, does it?".
Phil just quipped, "It's just another Monday". Uh-huh.
