Creem Profiles

ROBYN HITCHCOCK

(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

September 1, 1988

HOME: Sphere of Croakers.

AGE: One sunny day.

PROFESSION: Underwater astronomer. HOBBIES: Watching cars go back and forth; angling for the wily bluegill at midnight; paying homage to the Boy Howdy! shrine; renaming Beatles; turning himself on; and the odd Oriental femur.

LAST BOOK READ: Ichthyology Made E-Z by Kilgore Trout.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Conning the editors of CREEM into conning the publisher of CREEM into putting him on the cover. QUOTE: “Alas, poor Yorick, you’ve got to be kidding.”

PROFILE: Often mistaken for Reg, our chum Robyn first blew minds at the turn of the decade with England’s neo-psychedelic Soft Boys before venturing out on his own in 1981. Long a champion of things aquatic, his latest album, Globe Of Frogs, is a grand celebration of life, liberty and the pursuit of fish.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
