The person known as Rick is Richard Norton, who was offered a job doing security on a 1979 U.S. tour with Linda Ronstadt as her personal bodyguard and trainer.

I came across Richard Norton's facebook page: Richard Norton's Facebook page
It appears he has had an illustrious career and is still going strong at 71. He has some other pictures with Linda on his page, as well as Stevie Nicks, Scarlett Johannsen, and lots of recent projects he has worked on.

Richard Norton most definitely had a relationship with Linda Rondstadt in the 70's and lived together for a period. At the time my mother's best friend was a lady by the name of Linda Norton, Richards mum.She lived in the Croydon/ Bayswater area in outer Melbourne, Australia. At one point Richard brought Linda R to stay with her and she remarked how she got to hear Linda R sing in the house and how remarkable her voice was. Richard was a 'salt of the earth' type apparently but famous in the martial arts world. Quite a remarkable story but 100% happened!

Heard Mr. Norton interviewed on a martial arts podcast in 2014ish. My son is a very sweet black belt and played it for me. Norton talked of his work with Bowie, Nicks and some other celebs - very professional. When he was asked about Linda - he paused, he sighed and almost seemed to have to compose himself. "She was a joy, she was special".
