LITA FORD: Everything My Husband Touches Turns To Gold

November 24, 2009

Sleaze Roxx recently conducted an interview with '80s hard rock queen Lita Ford. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Sleaze Roxx: How is touring different now with your family on the road with you compared to years back? It must be quite a change.

Lita Ford: While you were talking to [Lita's husband] Jim [Gillette of NITRO fame], my eight-year-old is in the top bunk and he's got Elmo on his hand and he's peeking over the door with Elmo but the language that is coming out of Elmo's mouth is not appropriate for children that are eight years old. Rocko is in the top bunk, and he's eight years old, and he's got Elmo and he is going, "Hey, you assholes! Hey I'm up here," and he's sneaking over the door. So I'm thinking to myself, "Reality show." This is really fucking funny. My other son has pooped in a bag because you're not supposed to poop on the bus. He pooped in this bag and I told him to tie the bag shut so you can't smell anything, but he didn't. He just left this bag of poop in the bathroom and the whole bus smells like shit and I'm thinking, "Oh, my God, this is definitely a reality show."

Sleaze Roxx: That doesn't sound like your usual tour stories, does it?

Lita Ford: No... (laughs). Of course, everyone is clean and sober and nobody drinks a damn thing except for a glass of wine before the show and that's it.

Sleaze Roxx: Is it safe to say you are having more fun now than when you were on top of the charts?

Lita Ford: It's different, that's for sure. It's another world, it's another life, it's another Lita. My "Wicked Wonderland".

Sleaze Roxx: Will we have to wait another 15 years for a new CD from you?

Lita Ford: Nope, of course not. With my husband in charge, and him leading the way, there's no stopping what we are going to do. I told him he should have been President of the United States because he's just a go-getter. Everything he touches turns to gold, so I know that I'm in good hands with him. This isn't a one-off thing. I didn't do all this for one fucking CD or 13 songs, hell no! I didn't make my bus stink like shit for one fucking CD... (laughs).
