Rick's been known to flip people off.  Mostly it's Matty, the sound guy.  Sometimes it's Ronnie (oh Bucky, his tour manager).
Sometimes it's even someone in the crowd ( I say this from personal experience),
 but  most of the time, it's all in good fun.  "It's just another way of saying I love you",
he says.  Unless you're throwing a beer can at him, then he probably means it in its original form.
