Personal note on Rikki: Rikki Rockett is very intriguing. A skilled drummer, but without the stereotypical traits of a drummer. In other words, he's not an idiot. No offense to any drummers who may be reading this, it's just my experience that a great many drummers can't hold a decent conversation, most drummers I've come in contact with were dull, unoriginal, unthinking, and monosyllabic. Rikki is intelligent, talented, and obviously creative. I admire his musical ability, and I admire his views, and his dedication to those causes that he holds dear to his heart. He has the strength to stand by his convictions, even if they aren't the most popular way of thinking.

Over the past few years, I have managed to get to know Rikki a bit. He is a very sweet, flirtatious man. He is everything I ever thought he was and more. He's also very compassionate. When health problems have plagued me over and over again, he has persistently urged me to go see a doctor, until I did. His encouragement, compassion, and persistence played a big part in my going, as I usually dedicate little time and effort to my own health maintenance. Rikki is truly a wonderful person, a gem in this world. In the 5 times I have been in his company, he has proven his compassion, and his friendship. I love Rikki dearly, and count him as a friend.
