Creem Profiles
JOHN COUGAR
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
HOME: The great Midwest.
AGE: Juvenile delinquent.
HOBBIES: Night dancin’; lookin’ for a lover who won’t drive him crazy; hot nights in cold towns; seeking the American Dream; listenin’ to Sam Cooke on the radio.
LAST BOOK READ: Rebel Without A Cause. (He saw the film!)
LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Realizing that nothin’ matters (and what if it did?).
QUOTE: “I need a lover...who’ll sit on my face!”
PROFILES: After studying his street-wise poses on the sidewalks of Seymour, Indiana, this motorcycle-ridin’ hood hooked up with Bowie mainman Tony Defries. Despite initial commercial and critical flops, our hero persevered, found a new manager, and scored two hits, a cover by Pat Benatar, and numerous fans along the way. A Hoosier takes off, eh!
BEER: Boy Howdy!
