| Fun article written by Paul Ace Diamond "Huggy" Blow Seattle Sinner Magazine Feb. 2008 GOSH DANG, it’s been a cold Winter for the Huggy Blow! So cold I’ve actually had to turn on the heat in my Greenwood penthouse. In fact, I’ve cranked the thermostat all the way up to 6o! Anybody that knows me knows how I hate to spend money on frivolties such as electricity and heat. Yes, I am a bit of a tightwad, although the rumors that I make Kool-aid without the sugar because I’m so cheap are slightly exaggerated. I do use 3/4 cup sugar instead of a full cup and I do add extra water... what’s up with THAT? And the rumors that I make Top Ramen with twice the water? All I can say is, “Doesn’t everybody?” Aside from that, I am pleased to announce that my new solo CD “LUV JUICE & ATOMIC ROCK” is out now, and my song “Whiskey Sour” is topping the Apple iTunes glam rock charts, the number one most downloaded song five miles within the 98103 zipcode radius. Amazing but true! “Whiskey Sour” is actually part of my “Whiskey trilogy,” the other two songs being “Whiskey & Leather” and “Whiskey Woman” which were performed by my band the Berserkers back in the day. You write about what you know, as they say, and I am currently in the process of writing a brand new song, “Whiskey a Go-Blow,” which will be the fourth part of the trilogy. Now, having absolutely nothing to do with my legendary tightwadness, the cold weather or whiskey, friend-o’-mine and fellow media-whore Faye “The Tattooed Psychic” has invited me to appear on her public access TV show “Ill Famed Spirits TV” to have a celebrity reading done. Since I’m a big believer in the supernatural and the spiritual world I’ve agreed to go on a future episode sometime in 2008 which should be a load of fun. I’m a bit of a psychic myself – in fact I accurately predicted the death of grunge back in 1995 – so here’s my prediction of how my Tarot card reading with “The Tattooed Psychic” will go: TP: Here are your cards, Mr. Blow. BLOW: Awesome! I wish I was in Vegas right now, ‘cos it looks like I’ve got a FULL HOUSE! TP: Um, that’s not actually how it works. I see a lot of death cards in there. BLOW: That’s a good thing, right? So what do the cards tell you? TP: Well let’s see. The cards tell me that you have something on your mind, that there’s something you need to do. BLOW: You are so right. I do need to return that video to Blockbuster, I totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me! TP: The cards also tell me that you are a handsome man, a kind man, a generous man, a highly spiritual man of integrity, wisdom, very talented and extremely charming. BLOW: That is soo true. But of course, that’s common knowledge. Everyone knows this. What else do the cards say? TP: The cards tell me that you will die... BLOW: NO! I refuse to accept this! TP: ...you will die naked and alone in a San Francisco flop house. BLOW: Sweet! That’s a rock star’s death! Bring it on! TP: But this won’t happen for quite some time... BLOW: Good! I’m a busy man here, got things to do... got an album to promote! Do you see an appearance on the Conan O’Brien show in my future??? Yes, I’m pretty sure that is how my reading will go. Stay tuned for more info on that one, and in the mean time you can check out Faye the Tattooed Psychic at www.TattooedPsychic.com or catch her live show “Spiritus Live!” at the Jewelbox theatre. Sorry folks, there’s no space to answer questions this time, but here’s one bit of advice from the Huggy Blow handbook: HUGGY’S FASHION TIP OF THE MONTH: In the Winter time a freezer suit is perfectly acceptable attire. Wear one today! |
