Bobby was my favorite dummer in the 80's. Of course, Ratt was my favorite band. I saw them in concert more than any other band. I really miss the 80s. If anyone ever asked me if I could go back there. My answer, "In a fkn heartbeat."

I went to see Ratt at a small venue in Chattanooga in the 2000's. I got there in the afternoon and walked around towards the back of the club where the bus was parked. A security guy comes up and starts telling me I had to leave. I told him that the bus was parked on a public street and I was standing on a public sidewalk. About this time the bus door opened, Bobby steps out and asks what is going on. I told him what was happening. He told the security guy to get lost and then spent the next 20 minutes talking to me. Great guy!!!!

These 'behind the scenes' stories are the best. I'd love to know what those Roth/Pearcy stories were that Bobby and Michael was talking about! 🤟

What a time, and now we have woke loser BS with stolen elections. Back in the day we didn’t think about politics.
