There has been an enormous amount of interest lately about
the reappearance on the pop culture radar of the once-famous Country and
Western star, Colonel Foz. Colonel Foz,
as you know, was world famous back in the 60’s and 70’s when he was touring
with such international acts as George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Lynrd Skynrd,
Gramm Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Sex
Pistols, Frank Zappa, and Wayne Newton.
He was also romantically attached to each of these great
performers as well as Gretta Garbo, Mary Todd Lincoln (during her “crazy”
years), Richard Nixon and Bond Villain Nick Nack. Colonel Foz has lived long and seen it all,
but unfortunately for audiences of the digital age, has yet to complete an
album.
Like many great artists The Colonel can be a bit
self-sabotaging, and the reason, as you well could guess, lies in The
Bottle. He has done some of his best
work in there, but for obvious reasons, what is made in The Bottle, stays in
The Bottle. He occasionally disappears into a fog of sobriety, severely hampering his creative output.
Still, we here in Chicago are incredibly lucky because Our
Hero, Sean Flannery recently discovered Colonel Foz while trying to retrieve keys from a urinal at The Beat Kitchen, rinsed him off, and brought him back
into the limelight as the musical feature performer at The Blackout
Diaries. That, as you know, is the
monthly pageant of dissipation occurring at the Beat Kitchen that was recently
named by The Red Eye newspaper as, “The greatest thing ever, including
monotheism!”
Read it for yourself.
Here it is:
After you read it, get your tickets to The Blackout Diaries,
and then show up at the Beat Kitchen this Saturday night, September 29, at 9:00
for fun and booze. It costs 10 bucks. Don’t be cheap - go!
And when you see Colonel Foz, buy him a drink and seduce
him. It’s your best chance of becoming a
Bond Villain!
