Nate WilcoxHOST
And yet you pretty clearly show that this was something that was done pretty commonly and mostly tongue in cheek.

But for Brian's influence on you with music and what Brian was influenced by, I mean, I'm assuming that he, you know, without a doubt, that he was a Rolling Stones fan and he got the name from...
