musician best known for his 1980 song "It's Not A Rumour", which he
co-wrote with his wife Demi Moore, and recorded with his band The
Nu-Kats. The song was not a chart hit, but the video did receive
airplay on MTV in the early 1980s.Moore was born in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and aside from his family's brief move to San Francisco,
California in 1964/65, grew up in the Twin Cities area. "I didn't have
any friends and really didn't want any. I just sat in my room and
played Beatle songs and wrote my own," he claims. At this point, he
was known as Rick Moore.He graduated from Richfield, Minnesota High
School in 1968. Fearful that he would be drafted to serve in the
Vietnam War, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota to study Music
Theory and Composition under composer Dominick Argento.After
performances with his band An English Sky, Moore started performing as
"Skogie", circa 1970, and soon after formed Skogie and the Flaming
Pachucos. Later, the band name reverted to Skogie.
