Well, after 21 years of studying Philco, I think I've earned the title. And, incidentally, I did not give myself that moniker...it was bestowed upon me by my buddy Eliot Ness several years ago.

I thought of calling myself "the Philco Radio guy" but Eliot's "Mr. Philco" was simpler. And it stuck.

Now, after 21 years, I've sometimes thought of calling myself "The Doctor of Philcology." Icon_lol

Icon_lol

But I don't want to come off sounding like a narcissistic blowhard like a certain narcissist on the radio whom I used to listen to...until I got to the point that I could no longer take three hours of "I love me."

Oops, I'm about to break one of my own rules about politics so I'll shut up now.
