I have always tried to be controversial, tried to instill a bit of scepticism in people, and I think that was a success with my new blog, and the first new post since I took down my old one.
The original blog was dead and in need of a makeover. It was my decision to start anew. And thats my right. And you can say "Ah hell, thats not Phil, its some poser." Fine with me. You can believe what you want. Those are the same people that thought and think that I will revert to my old show. Even after breaking down reality to you guys, you still think its a matter of time before I break into a Ted Bell bit, or get Bud to give me a hand, or even get David G. Hall to put a boot up my ass. I know you people have no lives, other than your devotion to me, but its not happening, ever. And here is why:
When I left my show last year, it was a real bitch to get ownership over my site, and over all my matierial. Truth is, alot of my old classic stuff is still tied up on various Clear Channel stations and subject to alot of headache to get ahold of. There are a bunch of brainiacs out there saying "What you dont have tapes of your own stuff?" Simply, sometimes tapes were made, lost, recorded over, or never made or archived. Its like that. In this industry, every single personality, from Stern to Combover will tell you they had some great stuff they did a long time ago, but the tapes are lost. Im not sure if its the gravitational force of Michael Moores huge fat ass or the sucking sound of Sean Penn, but they are lost. Its an enormous effort to get some of that matierial.
If I were to do my old show, any new matierial would be subject to ownership of TRN. TRN is a bunch of great folks, but I really dont want to have to fight for some Herb Sewell bits. Its nothing against them, but its just something that has to be. Now, if in 16 more years, Im still doing this gig and end up retiring, whos going to want to hear old segments of my history lessons on Hitler and the SS?
What I did with the show prior to June 2006 is classic stuff. I would be lying to you if I said that some of that old shit didnt make me almost loose my mud laughing. It cracks me up to this day. I cant live up to that show at its peak. What is done is done. If they ever induct me into the Radio Hall of Fame, thats what it will be based on, and thats something that I am proud of. It would be like Bill Murray trying to do some of his old stuff in his old age. Imagine a 70 year old bill running after a ghost; just isnt going to work. Caddyshack was funny, but it can never happen again. Same thing with my old show. It just cant be done again.

Welcome to my new blog!
Well, kids, here it is. My new spot for the blog. Some of you may wonder why I took the original down. Ill tell you. Simply, I have a new, exciting radio show. And for that new show, I need a new blog. The old blog was just an extension of what was. This is an extension of what is.
I know alot of you have been hammering the fan sites and the hate site about how my new show isnt as good as the old one. Simply, who fucking cares what you think. You might not like it, but I do. In fact, TRN likes it so much, they pay me for it. Green talks more than a bunch of internet cry babies. Im going to do the show I want to do, not what you want me to do.
Stop emailing me from the BSP telling how much I suck, it doesnt matter what you say.
Now, for real topics, hit up my show and my website. Phil Hendrie Show.
