1987.08.07 - L.A. Weekly - L.A. Dee Da On The Streets [Party at the Cathouse]

Transcript (excerpt):
------------------------------

Tuesday night was the last night Osko’s had Cathouse pussy-footin’ around the premises. Wild man Riki Rachtman may have been recovering from jaw surgery, but that didn’t keep his motor mouth from revving at high idle - he was in “high” spirits, to say the least, and decided that he would douse the celebratory crowd with a couple of bottles of Dom Perignon. The inclusive Cathouse gala also was in praise of the new Guns n' Roses album, Appetite for Destruction, whose controversial cover, a painting by artist Robert Williams, can currently be seen on display at [?] Parsons and is under ban in most of your [?] record stores. Anthony Michael Hall, Ratt’s Steven Piercy, members of Dio, Metallica, Ozzy Osborne’s band, Poison, and the tongue without a face, Gene Simmons, were all tom-catting through the environs (which, by the by, included the Faster Pussycat crew, who were preparing to shoot a video the next day with that master of bodacious direction, the Ta-Ta man hisself, Russ Meyer).
