Post subject:  Poison Drummer Arrested for Rape

While there's NOTHING funny about rape, I busted out when I saw Rikki Rocket's REAL name in this news release:

Richard Allan Ream

Dick Ream.... sounds like a gay rapist to me.

The drummer for 80s glam band Poison was arrested on a rape warrant issued out of Mississippi as he arrived at LAX after getting off a flight from New Zealand, police said.

Rikki Rockett, 46, was arrested Monday at the airport and booked into the Los Angeles County Jail, according to Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's Inmate Information Web site. He was held on a strong-arm rape warrant stemming from Neshoba County, Mississippi, and appears to have been released from L.A. County custody, the Sheriff's Web site shows. His status today could not be confirmed. Details about the warrant were not immediately available. Messages left with state police in Mississippi went unanswered.

According to the online Web site Wikipedia, Rockett was born Richard Allan Ream in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He has worked as a hairdresser, lifeguard, dishwasher, Emergency Medical Technician and a suit salesman. He rose to prominence in the 1980s when he co-founded the band Poison with vocalist Bret Michaels.

In late 1993, Rockett discovered that the then guitarist Richie Kotzen of Poison was having a relationship with Rockett's fiancee at the time, Deanna Eve. Kotzen was fired due to this incident.

and what about this press release would make one NOT come to the conclusion that he would become the drummer of the legendary "Poison"?

however, in my darker moments, i find myself mysteriously drawn to to my PS2 G-hero disc to scale out a few riff's of "Nothing But A Good Time".
That, my friends, is what REAL rock is all about.

Anybody catch a Chicago band called "Cheer Accident" before? I hear they are basically a cover band of Rocket and the boys.

(ack...)
