That is sooooo funny. While upstairs doing some dishes I thought to myself someone may post that he pronounced his own name incorrectly for some type of effect, only in that particular song.
With all due respect & I truly mean this, minus any corroburating evidence of such a claim, one can only laugh at the absurdity.
My analogy: Someone introduces himself to me as LU-is. I walk away & tell someone later that the correct pronunciation of the other man's name is actually LU-ee & he used the alias LU-is only for a particular effect.
One can only imagine that someone came up w/ the theory to support the pre/misconception that Mr. Armstrong could be convinced (or choose himself) to mispronounce his very own name for some type of effect. May I ask exactly, specifically what is the so-called effect? And how it would NOT have been accomplished by the other pronunciation? By professional signing rule, "S" & "T" sounds are often completely avoided (as in not even pronounced) because such sounds are unappealing. The listener just unconsciously fills in the sound w/o knowing it is missing.
This is an audio forum, nothing more or less; anything goes including your point. May I present that in a court of law your suggestion would be laughed out the door. IMO it would only be allowed in a signed affidavit from the source; maybe heresay but I doubt it.
Nick Spitzer of NPR just announced his name correctly; he's the first so-called professional I've heard pronounce it correctly.
