I thought this was gonna be about a mission to find Mr. Patrol.
Me too. Hoped that Beaneater had donned trench coat and fedora and begun sleuthing our serial killer's whereabouts.
Yeah that’s how I pictured it.
Never heard of Ratt.

You’re not missing much, unless you like hair metal. Which even I mostly don’t.

By the early 90s Ratt was fracturing. Their last classic line up single, Nobody Rides for Free, appeared on the Point Break soundtrack.

That’s a great one though I take exception to the notion that this is the “classic lineup” as Robin Crosby was out of the band at this point.
I really don’t know much about Ratt.
But I have so many questions...
I’m the resident IMCT RATT expert so feel free to ask away.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I am researching Ratt tonight after seeing this advertisement:

This commercial just came up and the Boss looked at me sideways for enjoying the song. C'mon, it's fun and stupid.

If there were a land ruled by an amicable and a bicameral legislature of 80s metalheads & hip hoppers please get me there pronto.

It is ruled by the good prince, Prester John.

I am just fine with the Aerosmith and Run DMC version of Walk This Way as a National Anthem.

Big plus for exposing hip hop to rock audiences, but big negative for resuscitating Aerosmith's career.

I assume you've had the same batshit weather we've had. Three days ago, with the humidex it was close to 40C; today it was 4C when I got up and has been furnace weather all day. Crazy nuts.
