“Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.”

As Thomas Paine says, a title is but a nickname and a nickname a title.

We remember James Brown and Gerald Ford today. At first glance they seem at opposite ends of the pole – one a President of the United States and the other the Godfather of Soul, the hardest working man in show business.

Titles and nicknames. Nicknames and titles. Each one’s legacy can be defined by how they lived up theirs; and Godspeed to both.
