R.I.P. Rich Cronin, September 8 2010. leukemia.... Donate blood and bone marrow, that was his message near the end. btw, this is one of the best interviews by Stern that i have heard on U PooP. keep em' comin'!!
No question he went through a terrible time, but I doubt he was completely honest in this interview. He says he was freaked out at the first meeting, just wanted to go home, yet he gets in the limo with him, watches a movie with him and later on goes with him to that trip to California.
@steveo288 because they had to do it, man, they wanted to make it big, and the guy helped them to achieve that, and they were bounded by contract, so they had to suck it all up
You can't hate Rich simply for wanting to sell songs and make money, even if you don't like his music he's a pretty damn cool guy and it sucks that he had to go so soon
when i was 15 me and my bud jacked the train to London. We couldn't find anywhere to sleep so we were wandering around like homeless bums. some taxi driver picked us up started telling us stories like he knew this guy, beautiful wife, and he liked taking pics of guys jacking off in front of his wife, would we be into doing into for 500pound each. we were like 'yeah sure' but then he says, 'first i need to see your dicks, see how well you can jack off first'.
Dude I knew a guy JUST LIKE Lou Pearlman--his name is Rick Altmann and he lives in Las Vegas. He's fat and nasty (just like Lou) and makes up ALL KINDS OF LIES that sound too good to be true in order to attract young attractive guys to him. He's a total creeper, but as I'm listening to Rich talk about Lou here it's erie how similar the story is!
he seems to be a music agent rather than a guy that "controls all the media in germany" lol.. i'm gonna decide to think CLP wasn't partnered up with pearlman in maneuvering the youngsters, but LP felt the need to throw a real name in there, for.. credibility? wierd, wierd motherfucker
"you really think the backstreet boys just worked hard?", this story is funnier in its nuttiness than any movie or anything i've seen about the music industry, you couldn't make this shit up!
When Cronin is explainin the conversation between Lou and the german dude he almost let slip out the name of the Backstreet Boy the german (actually Perlman) liked... it sounded like it started with a "K"? :S

R.I.P Rich Cronin
Love ur music.
I have no idea that he was that sick.
I mean I knew he had leukemia but I thought that he was alright and not so serious cuz his news just like woo....nothing.
I thought he already recovered until I heard the news today and check out news and photos. He changed a lot.
but at least he had chance to do music again. If I knew about his solo I would buy it.
Rest In Peace.......... u r part of my childhood and now u r in a better place called heaven
