    I hope that isn't a surreptitious re-branding, Peter.........

    I've got no plans to rebrand but I can't predict what I will do tomorrow.

    I beat you to it!

    I did know of JJ Cale as well but I was never a follower.

    Wonder what the second J stood for as his middle name was Weldon? Wrote the great song "cocaine".

    The second (or first!) J was added to differentiate him from John Cale.

    You could say that was a more successful branding exercise!

    But then who would be so thick that they couldn't tell the difference between "John Cale" and "John Weldon Cale"?

    He should have changed his name to "John Weldon Cale Tiger" if he really wanted to be commercially successful!

    I'm stopping now...
