"Insanity of Life" CD Release Party!"

APRIL 13, 2002

The Emperor was taken completely by surprise.  Believing that he was merely going out to dinner with friends, Richie stumbled into his first ever CD release surprise party consisting of 50 of his closest friends, family and supporters.   Flashing that infamous RS smile, "The Emperor of Rock and Roll" was again on center stage...this time with NO REHEARSAL!!

Richie is shocked to find a party waiting for him with old friends

The party was a fully catered affair with open bar and multicourse dinner compliments of Dario and Susan Darus and Producer Mark Weber.

Richie's pals from the original Alice Cooper group were also there.   That's Neal Smith sacrilegiously holding that bottle of "not-Bud", and also below is Neal and fellow Cooper Dennis Dunaway showing their skills in sign language.

Richie is always happy to see fellow "Rock Legend" member Neal Smith.  Here he is below chatting away.

BELOW:  The man in blue is Anton Fig, from David Letterman's band.  Anton is a real journeyman, making friends and fans everywhere he goes.  In addition to playing with Richie on his new album and his eternal Letterman gig, Anton also plays with Ace and recently played drums with Mick and Keith for that big benefit in NYC for the NYPD and FDNY!  Talk about copping the hot gig!

When Jill met Ace tour manager Billy St. John, he was wearing an NSYNC tour jacket which of course caught her eye.  Mentioning it to Richie, he replied, "Now, remember what I told you about those kinds of bands???"

LONG LIVE REAL ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
