A Quickie with Poison's Rikki Rockett

Cristy: We have this little thing on our magazine called a Quickie....
Rikki:
(silence)
Cristy: (laughter)
Rikki:
Okay.
Cristy: It's these five questions we ask everybody. Don't think too hard about this...
    What's your definition of happiness?
  • Rikki: (pause and mumbles) Uh, don't think too hard....
    Cristy: See, you think too hard and it flies right out of your head!
  • Rikki: NOT having to be somewhere.

    Cristy: I'll go with that. What's your guilty pleasure?
  • Rikki: (chuckles) Pre-marital sex.

    Cristy: Who would play you in the film version of your life?
  • Rikki: (pause) Now, I have to think, because I have to think of names... I think we'd have to hold a casting call.
    Cristy: You're gonna go for an unknown?
  • Rikki: (laughs) Yes.

    Cristy: What was your first kiss like?
  • Rikki: Scary. It was really scary.
    Cristy: Why was it scary?
  • Rikki: I thought I was gonna throw up.
    Cristy: You're kidding?
  • Rikki: Oh my god....Sadie Hawkins dance, afterwards. Oh man...Yeah, no I was really sweating bullets.
    Cristy: But it turned out okay?
  • Rikki: Yeah, but I.....(chuckle) but I don't think she wanted to see me afterward.
    Cristy: Ooohhhh.
  • Rikki: So that's not good. I was awful.

    Cristy: What's your favorite band that no one's ever heard of?
  • Rikki: No one's ever heard of?
    Cristy: Well, you know, that is not a known entity. We're all about pimping things that people don't know.
  • Rikki: Sparks.
    Cristy: And who are they?
  • Rikki: Sparks has actually been around a really long time. I don't even know if they're still together. I think their drummer was awesome, Dicky Diamond. There's two brothers, it was almost a Cheap Trick thing, a little bit. It was kinda like the good looking singer guy but then the keyboardist had a little Adolph Hitler mustache, had a tie and white shirt, that sort of thing. They just had amazing subject matter. Either that or I'd have to say The Upper Crust which dresses in this medieval times look and stuff like that and has songs like "Long Table For Two".
    Cristy: Oh my.
  • Rikki: I love a sense of humor.
    Cristy: Apparently. I'm getting that idea.
  • Rikki: The punk band Black Jewish Mother....

And this is where Cristy bailed out, after they got their respective laughter under control.
