I always am highly skeptical of people who change their names, for any reason. it shows not only disloyalty to your family but makes me think what else would they try to hide.
plus, savage was originally a liberal who lost a position to an affirmative action candidate. now he is in revenge mode.
however, he is an extremely intelligent and perceptive individual.
Savage did not like his name - Weiner.
So he is playing a little game of hide the Weiner with his use of a false name.
Thank you. I’ve thought the same, unless its for artistic or show biz reasons. But then Ive had friends who changed their names, so there are exceptions. In the old Hollywood studio days, I think that you g stars often had names chosen for them and didn’t get a lot of say in the matter.
