"I can't complain, but sometimes I still do"- Joe Walsh, "Life's Been Good"

First off, I would like to thank everyone for coming to the site.

Then, I will take a deep breath and begin . . .

 

Here goes.

I am NOT Richard O'Brien. In fact, I am so terribly contrasted from the fellow it's astounding. If I WERE Richard, wouldn't it be rather conceited of me to dedicate a website entirely to myself? I believe I would instead be much too busy to do something like this.

I also do not have any information or ability to help in things such as the following:

  1. How to obtain the rights to the Rocky Horror Show, The Stripper, Hymn For Jim, Disaster, Disgracefully Yours or anything else he has created.
  2. Any "pull" or other such nonsense in getting the above mentioned rights.
  3. Getting Richard to send you a birthday card.
  4. Numbers for his agents.
  5. Personal information, home phone numbers, addresses, the color of his underwear, sexual orientation, whether or not he likes broccoli, etc. (My focus is, and always has been, his career. Don't ask me if he and his wife are still married/happy/whatever, cause I have no clue, and furthermore, it's none of my damned business.)
  6. Asking Richard questions.

Now don't get the idea that I don't like getting questions and chatting Ritz, because Lord knows I do. I could talk and talk and talk on the subject and never tire of it, so by all means, write me and say hi. What I do NOT like, however, is when people expect me to be able to help them do something I have no clue how to do. I'm not an agent, I'm just a goofball from Cleveland who has a few spare minutes here and there to waste sitting at a computer screen to put this stuff together.

I don't have Richard's personal contact information, nor would I ever seek to get it. (Even if I DID have it, I sure as hell wouldn't be giving it out to everyone- I'd even be too chicken shit to call or write myself.)

I may seem a bit harsh here, but if you saw my mailbox, you'd understand.

So what am I saying?

I am not Richard O'Brien. I don't sit and chat with him regularly. I've met him once and found him to be incredibly kind and charming, but beyond that . . .

However, since I continue to have problems with people e-mailing me and thinking that I AM, I have set up a little chart here to point out some severe differences between the two of us.

Thank you and goodnight,
