Are you sure *that* was the reason Rick chose 'Rick Rock'?  I know that
early SCOTS had a Mondo track (Rick Rock had three) but I don't think the
first Rick Miller (yet) saw the second Rick Miller as being prominent
enough to cause him to change his name.  I mean, he was no Davey Jones
yet.  bowie bowie. 

Anyway, to be even more technical, Rick Miller was called "Rick Miller" 
even during and after Rick Rock, most notably in his byline when he was
writing for the Spectator.  And it is his Spectator persona that was the
reason his name even came up in this thread.

80's, of which, for some reason, some people still think fondly) Robins
