If you’re a true PC fan you know who Phil the Shil was. This is one of the best informative stories about Phil that is out there. He has been a huge part of my life since 1982. Thank you for this wonderful podcast!

How can this man not be in the Rock n Roll hHall of Fame, as a solo artist, with the monumental success he’s had? A superior talent. Undervalued - a true icon.
Apple Podcasts5popguynycUnited States9 months ago - Misinformation
This is good. But it’s not correct to state that Jim Hutton was with Mercury when he died. He wasn’t. He later openly admitted this. The only person with him was Dave Clark. Get things right!
