I suggest you to read the book "Lords of Chaos", it's about Norwegian blackmetal scene, very interesting book.
By the way this guy was called "Dead", well "nomen omen".....
But what all of this has to do with the title of the thread??
I can understand people whose name/surname are always misspelled...I got used to have a double identity because people always misspell my surname, so I have to repeat it always twice to be sure they don't misunderstand...Yet they still make mistakes even on official documents...
