Hi Katy! You're doing a fabulous job! I enjoy this column very much! I have a question for Nick. Why did he decide to change his last name from Bates to Rhodes, and what inspired him to use Rhodes? Thanks Darlin'!Terry Flaherty

HI TERRY. APPARENTLY, IT WAS PURELY AESTHETIC. IT WAS DECIDED UPON BEFORE THE FIRST INTERVIEW JOHN AND NICK EVER DID. NICK SAID "WHAT SURNAME SHOULD I USE?", JOHN SAID "RHODES," & THAT WAS IT.
