[...] to Reverend Horton Heat. Johnny Hickman was a true gentleman while doing our show (check it out here), and I have nothing but respect for him. After all, his music has been in my ears since I was 13 [...]

I see they’re already booked back at Highline in May. Sheesh.

Friends could make an impact if given a shot. Tune is catchy.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen “sweetie” used on this site but Johnny came off as a “sweet” guy. I never listened to Cracker but thought this interview was quite entertaining.

Hi Andrew
I’m laughing at your comment…(sweetie). Frank is and it’s a woman’s view on a man. So it’s written in a different context.
The All Knowing Force site was posted by Johnny on a link on FaceBook, that’s how I came across this. He’s proud of this interview. You did a great job and a perfect vehicle to get Cracker’s music across.
Thanks for airing this.
Best wishes – Di

Diana Gosciminski – I completely agree on all points, except “sweetie” is not a term men use with other men. Glad to see our site reaches out to the U.K.

I met Johnny – he’s a brilliant man and got me laughing the moment I said hi. Frank (the drummer) is also a sweetie and a great fan of the BBC. Thanks for posting Johnny’s interview – you can’t get a better down to earth person such as he.

Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey is an awesome album that I encourage all of you to check out. It’s definitely one of their best.

As for Oscar’s comment, “Euro-Trash Girl” is actually the song you’re talking about. If I’m not mistaken, the reason it’s a hidden track is because it was on an EP prior to the release of Kerosene Hat. I’m not entirely sure, though.

Johnny is a cool guy and this was a fun, effortless interview to do.
