Beginning with this issue, the ROCKSHOTS INTERVIEW will become a regular feature of our magazine... because you asked for it! We’ll be bringing you enlightening Q & A sessions with some of the hottest stars in music; if you have any suggestions on who you’d like to see in this section, please drop us a line. This month, Jackie Kallen talked to Andy King, the Hooters’ inimitable bassist. King describes how it feels to be in what might very well be the most talked-about band of the year—and what lies ahead for the quintet from Philadelphia. Next month, we’ll feature those rockin’ gals, the Bangles— you won’t want to miss it! See you then!—Ed.
