It's not very rock'n'roll when the rock star you share your name with is dead. Poet Nick Drake has written a specially commissioned poem about life as 'the other one' [UK]:

"If you go to the Amazon website to see what people think of your work, be prepared. I found this review of my first book of poems under the title 'Not what was expected' from 'A reader from UK'; 'I made the unfortunate mistake of thinking this was some newly found material from the 70s singer-songwriter Nick Drake. Needless to say I was dissapointed [sic].' There was then a question, 'Was this review helpful to you?' followed by two boxes, YES and NO."

I don't know--some people would say that sharing your name with a dead rock star was REALLY hardcore!
