Was Lonewacko taken in by Phil Hendrie?

Last month I blogged about Phil Hendrie's move from KFI 640AM Los Angeles to the less-powerful and less-popular XTRA 570AM: "More bad news for Phil Hendrie?"

It appears that either based on something Hendrie said, or the radio commercials his wife did, or just based on my own imaginings I might have promulgated some false information. Commentator "Mark" takes me to task in that post:

Hey there, I was just doing a google search for some things regarding Phil Hendrie and I came across your site. This blog (below) that you did is pretty inaccurate. Firstly, Phils wife is named Maria, I dont' think he's ever tried to hide her name? I don't know where you got that from.

Secondly, as far as I know, General Johnson Jameson AND Combover boy don't even exist. They're made up by Phil Hendrie. Combover boy is actually a mock of another radio personality I won't even mention his name.

Thirdly, on the move to the sports channel, it was PHIL HENDRIES CHOICE! Dude, do you even listen to his show? He's only said that like 10,000 times in the last month.

Anwyays, I hope this clears some things up for you, but from your blog, it appears you don't really even understand his show... take care.

Needless to say, that comment caused me to do some googling of my own. It turns out that Mark was right, and I was wrong. I apologize to each of my bloggees, and I pledge to do a better job of checking sources and verifying information in the future.

UPDATE: That was quick! "Mark" confirms that he is indeed monitoring my blog for inaccurate Phil Hendrie-related materials and that he's glad that I've issued this correction. He also informs me that he's the head of the new group entitled the "Citizen's Internet Patrol", which is dedicated to correcting misinformation - Hendrie-related or not - on the Internet. The "CIP" is apparently an offshoot of Jay Santos' "Citizen's Auxiliary Police" organization, and "Mark" is second in command to Major Elvis Newton in this new group. We wish them the best in this new venture!

UPDATE 2: This is certainly... awkward. I'm informed in the comments that "Jay Santos" is yet another Phil Hendrie character. I have confirmed this using google. I apologize for the confusion, and I once again reiterate my pledge to confirm sources and verify information.

Comments

Phil has been lying his ass off to his audience, he was thrown off KFI. His ass would have got thrown on the Air America station if XTRA sports hadn't picked him up. You can confirm all this information by going to laradio.com

And you know, of course, "Jay Santos" is also Hindrire... right?
