...myself as your old time blood-'n'-guts sports reporter, the kind that used to frequent Madison Square Garden in the 1920's. Stomp in and drink with the hardnose people, put THEIR story in print, and show what sports is really like. Not any of the old clean-cut student athlete who dates the local cheerleader stuff.

The group's first single, Susie Q., rose to No. 11 on the Billboard charts last fall. Proud Mary...
