Richard Adventure here, back again. This time with a powerful one on one rocker interview with Tony Sagger...

Tony Sagger: Richard is a fag 'cause he can�t figure out the speed on this tape player. Richard is a douche bag, and Steve Strange fucked my ass so hard. Anyway, that can�t be in the interview...
RFA: So I�m with Tony Sagger now. Sitting on his living room floor with Flick the dog.
Tonys: Smoking weed...
RFA: We have a bowl packed, and we�re ready to talk. Deal with it. So Tony what is on yer agenda of rock at tonights Tyrades show?
Tonys: To puke on you.
RFA: This could happen, Husqvarna style.
Tonys: Husqvarna?
RFA: Husqvarna is a brand of chainsaw. It cuts through wood just like butter.
Tonys: What? I don�t get it.
RFA: Husqvarna chainsaw, dude.
Tonys: I like chainsaws. Richard did you hit that?
RFA: I will now. What do you think Skullrider is doing right now?
Tonys: Hit that...
RFA: I will dude...
Tonys: Skullrider is probably sitting at home with his wife right now. Watching bad TV, maybe playing drums.
RFA: Do you think he likes the show �Friends�?
Tonys: I know they like the show �Friends.�
RFA: That�s fuckin� weak, man.
Tonys: Yeah whatever. It�s not my deal, I don�t like �Friends.�
RFA: Neither do I.
Tonys: Last time I talked to Skullrider is when the new Sagger 45 came out on Goodby Boozy. I was like, "Ya think I can see you? I�ll drop off a copy, 'cause I�ll be in Madison." That never happened, so I mailed him copies.
RFA: So is the Tony Sagger one man band ever gonna play again? What is going on with that?
Tonys: I don�t know if I�ll ever play by myself again. I might at some point though, cuz I can play Night Terrors songs, Sagger songs, my own songs. I think I�m going to start the Tony Sagger one man band orchestra. We might have a different name, I don�t know, but it�s going to be me on guitar and bass and kick. My girlfriend will be on drums, very rudimentary drums, Ryan playing bass, Wendy playing piano, and Paul Reject playing guitar. I�m working on getting that together yet. I have shit I need to record. I just got a 4-track from Ryan. So I�ve got work to do.
RFA: Wild and mild. Tony Sagger is taking a toke.
Tonys: I did take a puff, and that bowl is done.
RFA: Let�s pack another here dude...I gotta ask yer take on...on fuckin� ah...
Tonys: Who�s on my dick?
RFA: Whats yer take on Don Knotts?
Tonys: Isn�t he dead?
RFA: No. (this was tragically taken before the sad death of the mighty Don Knotts)
Tonys: He�s not dead yet?
RFA: Fuck No! He is still rockin� with Dokken!
Tonys: Man I love "Andy Griffith."
RFA: It�s a fuckin� great show.
Tonys: Yeah it�s one of my favorite shows ever. And �Three�s Company� is another great show.
RFA: Fuck yeah! �Three�s Company� rules. Who do you like better, Norman Fell as Mr. Roper, or Don Knotts as Mr. Furley?
Tonys: Don Knotts.
RFA: Really? Norman Fell is pretty killer though. They both have their moments.
Tonys: Just watch the one season of �The Ropers� and you�ll be set. When is that coming out on DVD?
RFA: I have no fucking clue? Remember the TV show �The White Shadow�?
Tonys: No.
RFA: It�s about this white guy who coaches a black high school basketball team. It�s a TV show from the 70�s...it�s pretty epic.
Tonys: How old do you think I am?
RFA: Not as old as I am, but old enough...so whats yer take...er...what do you think Skullrider is doing right now?
Tonys: I told you already.
RFA: Oh, you asked me that question already.
Tonys: No, you asked me that question.
RFA: Tony Sagger, I told you I was drunk.
Tonys: Yer drunk.
RFA: What is yer take on professional wrestling in general?
Tonys: Professional wrestling? You wanna know what I prefer right now is Mexican wrestling.
RFA: The luchadores.
Tonys: Yeah, because my side band Night Terrorists, my noise band...have you seen Night Terrorists?
RFA: No.
Tonys: I play drums,and Eric from Night Terrors plays guitar, and his brother sings, or I don�t know what you call it. Noise! He makes farty sounds with his mouth or something. They're all into masks. Eric got this crazy mask at a thrift store for a dollar. They all wear masks, and we wear spandex, and we�re night terrorists. Mexican wrestling compared to American wrestling is that it�s more exciting. They all wear masks, and it�s like the noise of fucking wrestling. It�s kind of cool. I love rock-n-roll, but the noise prevails over that. I�m not saying that I like noise better. I love both noise and rock-n-roll.
RFA: What is yer take on David Hasselhoff?
Tonys: I don�t have one.
RFA: Why not?
Tonys: Why should I.
RFA: He�s a fuckin� dude. Fuckin� �Night Rocker� dude.
Tonys: Calling him a dude doesn�t mean he is cool. Knight Rider rules!
RFA: KITT was kind of a goofy fucker though. What is yer take on Todd Trickknee going to see the Intelligence tonight?
Tonys: That�s great. I just talked to Lars though e-mail just about a wek ago. Night Terrors were figuring out this West Coast shit. We can�t work it out this spring. So it�s going to be in July. I asked for either the Intelligence or A-Frames for a few shows, and he said that he was in Europe for the first part of spring, but that's great for Todd. I love the Intelligence.
RFA: That new album destroys.
Tonys: A-Frames, Intelligence, Spits, Hunches, like any of the bands out there that can get out anytime, should. I know how it is, the Night Terrors should do the same thing, but it�s hard. I can�t tour consistently.
RFA: Tony Sagger, you have to keep Milwaukee stable.
Tonys: I know, but I don�t. I stay off the radar, until I do something stupid.
RFA: Tony what�s yer take on ah...
Tonys: Ah...
RFA: I�m trying to hold back from laughing.
Tonys: Why?
RFA: I don�t know.
Tonys: Laugh all you want. Laughing is funny and entertaining.
RFA: Let me take a drink.
Tonys: Yeah, take a drink. Drinking, laughing, and smoking dope is the best part of interviews.
RFA: This is true.
Tonys: And hanging out.
RFA: What�s yer fuckin� take on �Happy Days�?
Tonys: I love it.
RFA: It�s a fuckin� wild show.
Tonys: Yeah, and it�s based a few miles from where I grew up. Recently I lived less than a mile from there, or where it�s supposedly based. Also, Henry Winkler rules.
RFA: Not only was he the Fonz, but he was the mind behind MacGyver.
Tonys: What�s my take on pooping in other peoples pants? I love pooping in other peoples pants, but not my own pants.
RFA: What�s yer take on Sherman Hemsley...from �The Jeffersons�?
Tonys: He�s good. He should be in one of our videos.
RFA: He should be strutting around and shit.
Tonys: He�d probably want too much money though. We did a Night Terrors video for $200 bucks. It was in Montreal. We went on tour in October. We did the video and I dressed like Sasquatch. The dude who shot our video, David, he shot the King Kahn & BBQ �Fish Fight� video.
RFA: I haven�t seen the video yet. Is it on youtube?
Tonys: Yeah it�s pretty easy to find links for it. Anyway I had to wear this Bigfoot looking mask with fur, and it had these antennas that stuck up, like 2 feet in the air. Man was it retarded.(Ed.: A semi-comprehensive web search did not unearth this elusive video. If anyone experiences a sighting of this mythic clip [or a sasquatch] please let us know)
RFA: Tony Sagger...Sasquatch.

...soon after that take, I warped into Dimension X. I don�t remember much after that, but I do know that I was woke up by The Angry Angles. I�d like to thank Tony Sagger for the time, hawkwind, beer and the interview.
