    'The success of the movie has done me some good. It hasn't made me a terribly wealthy person; it's just given me more choices.' - R O'Brien.

    Not sure if this is something you'll ever see Richard but if you do, know I love you and I owe a lot of thanks to you for inspiring me to who I am. Thank you.

    Yes, this parallel is correct: Adam & Eve = Hansel & Gretel = Brad & Janet. O'Brien is brilliant.

    The music/songs in Rocky Horror are absolutely phenomenal. Brilliant writing and arrangements.👍

    That was an interesting take on the Rocky Horror as an iteration of the fairy tales of Adam & Eve and Hansel & Gretel. There seem to be universal themes in folklore and mythology. The exile into a strange world, left to survive or perish is one of those themes. In my opinion, Richard O'Brien's explanation is right on the money.

      Adam and Eve is not a "fairytale", sinner. It is history, the account of Creation and our Lord.

    I've been a fan of his since the age of ten, I'm forty now and he looks you ger than me and my friends. More power to Richard, you brought a lot of joy and and wonder to this world. I watched rocky horror live twice with my big sis, such a laugh with great performers and a fun audience.

    Ha ha ha. If anyone who thinks they know me had any idea as to how I felt about the rocky horror picture show and anything else they'd kill me (they believe in things I do not) Anyway I've seen to much of the real world so thank you Richard for not being a playable twat. Sorry my dad was from Bradford so I acquired some slang. I would love to know how it feels to have brought so much to the table. With all my heart thank you for being able to take me to somewhere else... Thank you. By the way, Dark City was so goddamn good I can't begin to make up words to complement you. Hey... Don't die you silly creative man. We need you now more than ever.
