RICK'S new CD "venus in Overdrive"
releashed on July 29,2008

Rick has been hard at work on his NEW CD which is to be releashed July 29, 2008.
Why do I say hard at work? It only took Rick 32 days to record it!
Rick notes, "I think we should have called this CD 'Son of Working Class Dog.' It has the same kind of songs (from a slightly older perspective) and was as exciting to record ... ... writing and recording these songs has been the most fun I've had in the studio since the early '80s".
The first single from VENUS IN OVERDRIVE is "What's Victoria's Secret?" Rick says the title of the song "is one of those titles that was waiting to be written and we just got there first. Matt came up with it and we wrote the song while we were doing 5 nights of shows in Milwaukee. I had some recording gear brought into my hotel room and we wrote it there at the haunted Pfister hotel, room 804. It's basically about the sexualization of women and how we as males, want that, but also resist it and mainly need to connect to women as human beings. It's a dichotomy that most men feel I think."
Also featured in his new CD is the track "WHO KILLED ROCK N ROLL", which you may remember from General Hospital.

"Paging Doctor Drake. Doctor Noah Drake"

Rick returns to General Hospital on July 8th. Yes, doctor Noah Drake returns to the show once again. As part of the promotional plan for the new album, Rick will be returning to "General Hospital" in July as Dr. Noah Drake and his alter ego rocker Eli Love. The storyline will reunite him with the characters of Robin, Patrick and Anna as well as allow him to perform the single, "What's Victoria's Secret?"
If your not already watching, be sure to tune in starting in July to see what the "Doc" is up to now."

High Tide indeed!
8-13 foot waves pounded the ship during Rick's Cruise Concert. Many people got (sea) sick aboard the boat and were not able to enjoy the show. Mat came out in a Life Preserver.
To make things worse, the sound system wasn't up to par for the Beach Party. During the first of two parties, Rick became very upset about the sound and gave the crowd a view of the moon.
more coming soon!
