[QUOTE=Dead Cat] IQs: Were you _Iron Maiden_’s original lead singer? Have you used the pen names Richard Phillips, Jack Dowland, and Horselover Fat? [/QUOTE] Not Paul Day (I was a Seventies/Eighties metalhead once!) I don’t know the author who used those pseudonyms. Ask a DQ… unless… “Dick” is a nickname for Richard, so… is that Philip Dick again? ---

Did you write an autobiography detailing what a prick your politician father was? Also, the original singer from Iron Maiden was Paul Di’Anno, not Paul Day - does that mean **Dead Cat** gets a DQ? ---

Also, the original singer from Iron Maiden was Paul Di’Anno, not Paul Day - does that mean **Dead Cat** gets a DQ? [/QUOTE] I assume you mean Patti Davis, Reagan’s daughter. If Paul Day was not the original singer, I guess Dead Cat is entitled to another DQ. Bruce Dickinson was the only one I ever paid much attention to, anyway. ---

Ask a DQ… unless… “Dick” is a nickname for Richard, so… is that Philip Dick again? [/QUOTE] Good work! I thought I searched the thread for Philip Dick before I asked the question, but I may have missed it, sorry. And Paul Day was the name I was going for, so I won’t take a DQ. ---
