There is a talk show host on Dallas, TX radio named Richard Hunter. They call him Big Dick Hunter!

If he was, he'd be another sad statistic from the annals of teenage suicide.

Funny, there seems to be a dude on the blueboard all the time called Richard Head who never posts. People always namecheck him.

It's a blueboard conspiracy.

I used to live next door to a guy named Harold A. Hole.  Old Harry didn't talk much.  Then there was a guy who played for the Green Bay Packers in the late 1970s named Mike Hunt.  It was great hearing the TV announcers try to pronounce that one without cracking up (no pun intended).  They eventually started calling him Michael Hunt during the broadcasts.

I hope you don´t mind if I try to give a serious answer.

quote from "Surf´s Up" by Brad Elliott (page 358):


"It was reported that Richard Reising, who sang backing vocals on Boats Against The Current by Eric Carmen, was Brian Wilson. Collectors assumed the name was an alias for Brian, based on the mention of Dick Reising (a Capitol promotion man in Europe) in the 1964 cut, Bull Session With The Big Daddy. It seemed a logical conclusion. Bruce Johnston sang on three songs on Boats and Brian reportedly visited the Carmen sessions.
It soon became obvious that Reising was an actual person - in fact the guitarist for Carmen´s Touring band."

Maybe wrong, but that´s what Elliott had to say.

I would've guessed it would have been an alias for Dennis, not Brian, if it was indeed an alias. I mean, just think of how Dennis was.

Oh dear, this thread has me in stitches. The only contribution I can make is that a friend told me he went to college with a girl called Crimson Boner!

As an antidote to  Dick Reising, I know a guy named Richard Wilt....but he doesn't go by "Dick".  Wink

That's my understanding as well.  I'd have to dig to find my source for that though.

Yes, there actually was a European Capitol-EMI promotions man by the name of Dick Reising.  He was known for his ability to create interest in forthcoming (no pun intended) Capitol-EMI releases (no pun intended), but his promotional efforts often seemed to fall short (no pun intended) once a record had actually hit the streets and needed the necessary promotional follow through.  As a result, he was replaced by Capitol-EMI promotions man Big Dick Thrustin.

LOL at the thread title. Escaped the censors.

My mother once worked with a dude named Richard Byrd. She and her friends called him "Dicky Byrd".

Later Jim Morrison picked up on it continuing the put-on by referencing Dick's 2 brothers, Moe and Joe Reising in  'L.A. Woman'.
