Creem Profiles
JOHN COUGAR
(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: 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!
