Creem Profiles
THE SPECIALS
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.
HOME: Wherever they hang their pork pie hats.
AGE: Rude and lewd.
PROFESSION: Sensual simian shoe-shufflers.
HOBBIES: Reviving Desmond Dekker without embarrassing him; outtakes from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest; trombone etiquette; gap-toothed goofiness and shiny foreheads; money-back guarantees and the art of Bernie Rhodes.
LAST BOOK READ: History Of The 2-Tonic Invasion by Adolf Costello. LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Paid for their barber’s Jamaican vacation. QUOTE: “Sleep all day...it’s the only way.”
PROFILE: Opening guano stands across the nation to fertilize dance floors, the Specials negotiate a new era with frenetic foot twitchings; taking their teeth seriously, these checkerboard ska-crows dwell in the 2-Tone zone of danceable dedication, all the while remaining properly equipped during horizontal exercises.
BEER: Boy Howdy!
