“They made it look so cool!
They just made it seem so awesome to have sex and do drugs.”
Wow, putting the actual work in.

And that work paid off.
After calling for hours, this guy answered the phone and I said, Is that Doc McGhee?
and he said, No, this is Docs brother, Scott, explains Steve-O.

Turns out the brother was close enough.
How would you like it if I gave you backstage passes for the show tomorrow night?
And that was how I met Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee.
There is a picture to document this meeting of the (very likely heavily inebriated) minds.
I mean, I didnt have anything to say to those guys.
They were just my heroes.
And, of course, one usually wants to do exactly as their heroes do.
So can we point a line from that fortuitous meeting to some of Steve-Os actions as an adult?
And why is that, Steve-O?
Cause they made it look so cool!
They just made it seem so awesome to have sex and do drugs.
Spoken like a true baby of the 1980s hair metal scene.
