OT: Just heard from Don

[Rip Rokken]

Just got a call from Ratgirl during the Dokken/Queensryche show... she let me listen to Don playing "Dream Warriors"... SWEET! DOKK ON!!!

Here I thought you just got of the phone with Don Dokken.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before that happens - I'm surprised he doesn't have you on speed dial already.

I wish I could have made it to a concert - hopefully he does a CD signing so you can get a copy!

Rip, did you ever wonder about this?

We have the same taste in music. Sure, we love the MR stuff, but the melodic metal is our forte.

So, what happens in 50 years when we're in the nursing home, and it's supper time (at 4:15 pm), and the 25-year-old nurse comes by to load us into the wheelchair, and after snapping a towel on her butt, tell her we're not going because we're listening to "Slide It In"?

And then the Metallica and Sepultura and Cannibal Corpse fans are telling us to "turn that shit down" from the next hall over because our music is "wussy"?

Just a thought.

[Rip Rokken]

Actually, I asked her if she could put me on the phone with him later -- it's a long shot, but they will be trying to meet the band, so if it works out... Very sweet of her to consider me...

She just called again -- he's playing "Alone Again" now...

HAHA! Actually, I HAVE thought of that! I'll still be listening to the same stuff when I'm in my 80s... From the 80's I came, and to the 80's I shall return!

Here are your Danzig links again, in case you didn't catch them in the other thread -- enjoy!

I'm sure he'd be glad to talk to one of his biggest promoters!

It would be interesting to hear some of those acoustic hits.

[Rip Rokken]

He's playing "In My Dreams".... !!!

Atta girl, Ang! Can just picture Rip on the phone.......

[Rip Rokken]

You mean there really IS a Don Dokken?

[Rip Rokken]

I'm hoping to get a special message from him to give to all his new MR fans -- all these housewives who are now jamming on Dokken while baking cookies and fetching their hubby's beers during the football game. Oh,yes... and ProgRokker53, too.

No, all the hair burned clean off with all the friction.

He probably doesn't need anymore crushing, after being mobbed by 10,000 fans in FL.
