Thank you for the blog entry.
Thanks als...<br />Alice,<br /><br />Thank you for the blog entry. <br /><br />Thanks also go to Brian and his generous comments on the digitally re-issued "Lost Album", 10 years in the making.<br /><br />After Rik passed away numerous people claimed they had physical possession of unreleased Rik recordings. With the notable exception of Eric Ambel, nobody sent me anything. The Garbage Hearts had actually gone ahead and released their L Rik material and very kindly allowed me to cherry pick and edit a remarkable song entitled "Unfree".<br /><br />So who was it that objected to the video you posted? Are you sure they are an actual rights owner and not one of the parasitical Rik relic hoarders?<br /><br />Robbie Fields<br />Posh Boy Music <br />Covina High MusicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-79297611387005480572011-08-28T17:58:39.944-07:002011-08-28T17:58:39.944-07:00I was out with my gay friend Tom.

I think we were at Madame Wongs or Club 88, but no one knew where they were most of the time back then. I mustered my best manners and approached Rik L. Rik and asked him for an autograph. I'm 6'5" so initially he wasn't sure what was going on. I told him i had the white vinyl single of "Meathouse." He said, OK do you have any paper? And Tom had a small piece of paper. Rik put the paper on my back and wrote "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men." It wasn't Christmas, either. Loved your shows too Alice.Normnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-1214301305508647102011-04-16T19:52:42.881-07:002011-04-16T19:52:42.881-07:00Hey, it's been awhile since anyone posted.. Bu...Hey, it's been awhile since anyone posted.. But I found a really great EP on iTunes by Garbage Hearts, which Rik was a part of! It's really great stuff, which also features Rikk Agnew of the Adolescents! I was browsing around and found Posh Boy released Rik's 'Lost Album' digitally, but with a ton of demos, unreleased songs.. Of course songs like 'The Outback', 'Teenage Destiny' are on it as well. 'The Lost Album' was released in '91? I think, but only in LP format and I've yet to come across a copy. Anyway, I really enjoy the blog and am very grateful for everyone who keeps this music alive (especially for the people who weren't around.. or even born! 1986 for me).<br /><br />-BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-52999708432994182192011-02-25T20:05:26.009-08:002011-02-25T20:05:26.009-08:00Rik was an amazing poet and author. love you alway...Rik was an amazing poet and author. love you always, Elerick.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349459527592943451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-1164347113076367872006-11-23T21:45:00.000-08:002006-11-23T21:45:00.000-08:00psst... go here:www.alicebag.com/mediaand look aro...psst... go here:<BR/>www.alicebag.com/media<BR/>and look around but don't tell nobody...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-1164231597813115612006-11-22T13:39:00.000-08:002006-11-22T13:39:00.000-08:00I'm tremendously mad that you couldn't post that f...I'm tremendously mad that you couldn't post that footage, I would have loooooooooved to see that.<BR/><BR/>Rik L Rik and F-Word are great, and it's very very sad that he's gone now.

Somehow, (I'm fuzzy, but I think Ian MacDonnell may have had a hand in it) Rik dropped into our drama class and performed a couple of his poems for the class and POW!<BR/>What an impression he made on me. I thought he was the most fantastic piece of kit I had ever seen.<BR/>I seem to remember that he had a single out on Covina High Records. That was impressive as well.<BR/>I wish I had been old enough to venture out into the clubs in those days. As it happened, I only made it out to the Golden Bear once and saw The Lenny White Band. Pretty exciting stuff for an under-ager like me.<BR/>I later moved to Seattle where I cut my teeth on a healthy music scene, and will always always see X when they come through. They are like a musical anchor for me and what I'm sure would have been an exciting life of musical fun had I stayed in L.A..<BR/>Thanks for the picture of Rik.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-1128550979233578462005-10-05T15:22:00.000-07:002005-10-05T15:22:00.000-07:00Rik was a very close friend of mine.

And the 2nd one down at Bogarts (I actually have it all on video!& Track 16 too!) which was amazing! Rik was starting get some recognition from alot of younger kids (13-18 year olds!!) and DIM wanted to play shows again so RIK, DIM and Dutch reformed F-WORD and the rest was history.<BR/><BR/>As for Rik's passing? All I can say is that LA/OC scene lost a true original,and will NEVER be the same now that he is gone. He was very talented, with tons of karizma. He was the nicest guy on (all) levels with a quick wit/sense of humor that set him above most of his peers!!!! And he was always open and sincere. Even when he was busy/ and sick!, he always made time for his friends!!!<BR/><BR/>God Bless you Rik L Rik.......<BR/><BR/>Your friend,<BR/><BR/>Steven RascoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-1128195828551341042005-10-01T12:43:00.000-07:002005-10-01T12:43:00.000-07:00I didn't know he'd died.
