IT'S NOT unusual for fans to write to their artistic heroes. When Richard O'Brien receives letters, though, they run a little deeper than "thanks for a great show".
Over the years, the creator of The Rocky Horror Show has been told on a number of occasions that he's changed people's lives. First, by writing the book, music and lyrics of a musical that showed people it was okay to be different, and more recently by being so open about his own personal life.
