Meeooww! Remember when you could go to a big arena concert and see Ted Nugent play, and there would be bouncing babes in halter tops perched on their boyfriends’ shoulders? Well, at Cathouse last Tuesday, not only were there girls in halter tops dancing to everything from Hanoi Rocks to Faster Pussycat’s new tune “Babble On,” but the Nuge himself was there checking out the girlies. Damn Yankees' Josh and Dave were hoofing it up on the bar with Alibi booker Desi held aloft. Horrified onlookers Susan Heyat and Debbie Diamond (whose discriminating band, Feline, is seeking a black female guitarist) were trying to rouse Broken Homes’ Jimmy from his horizontal position so that he might enjoy the spectacle. Too bad for Guns and Roses’ Duff and Slash, though: They missed all the excitement because for the seventh time in seven weeks they were kicked out. Some of the dudes from Dokken had a real hoot when, they were in line behind Michael Damien, who was insisting that he was on the guest list. When Ricky Rachtman, keeper of the list, informed him that he wasn’t, Damien kept saying, “But I’m Michael Damien, I’m on The Young and the Restless.” Although Rachtman was terribly impressed, he told Damien it was $5, or take a hike. Damien didn’t have on his hiking shoes, so he opted for mingling with peers like Blackie Lawless, Nikki Sixx and a couple of Rough Cutts. Stock up on your kitty litter, because in May Cathouse will be open on Fridays as well. Don’t forget to cover your poop.
