Truth in names

You ever hear the theory that your name determines your future? There was an old Bloom County cartoon where Opus opined if John Kennedy would have had the same career path if he'd been born Mortimer Dipthong.

Apparently, there's some truth to this notion.

Ricki Rockett, the drummer for the band Poison, was arrested yesterday on rape charges. Mr. Rockett's real name? Richard Ream.

That's right. Dick Ream was arrested for rape. Seriously, you can't make this shit up.
