		<description>Yeah, somehow I manage to NOT make it public when I went to You Tube to make it public. I swear the thing worked afterward, though. Oh well, it's working now.</description>

		<description>I don't care if the hazzards of Hazzardization include the risks of cataclysm, a coming apocalypse or the depletion of the last cotton field, please please please save me, if not my soul one brown "333 Evil" t-shirt for when my probation officer finally allows me an allowance.</description>

		<description>I think the problem was I neglected to include weight information for shipping to work. Who can tell? That shirt is available and I tested it and it went through fine in the shop.</description>

		<description>Credit card in hand, I immediately visited the HazzardShop, prepared to purchase my very own Hazzardized product. But gosh darn, the one I really want doesn't seem to be in stock. I like the tattoo shirt. Will they be in stock soon or was that a limited run?</description>

		<description>Our hero Hazzard in the City of Brotherly Love. I learned about Johnny's participation in the Chi Chi LaRue Smut Revue while reviewing the Philadelphia International Gay &#38; Lesbian Film Festival (PIGLFF) catalogue. I'm a member of the Philadelphia Film Society, who hosts PIGLFF, and so simply made one tiny little phone call to their Membership Coordinator who immediately hooked me up with a volunteer gig for the event. My volunteer assignment designation was, "as needed," euphemism for "bitch gonna be where she gots to be -- feel me?" 

Johnny made mention of TLA. Circling the relationship, TLA funds the Philadelphia Film Society, who sponsors PIGLFF. 

And now for the prop check:

Original BRude T-Shirt signed by Johnny Hazzard - Plastic bag enclosed atop dresser - check

First edition "Smut" signed by Johnny Hazzard - atop entertainment center, beneath 52" flat screen TV - check

Props to Chi Chi LaRue for bringing her gorgeous self and two hot boys to town!

And to Miss Stoia, we should kick back sometime! Halla at me.</description>

		<description>Really? I liked Alison's version of Ode To Boy. I'm not sure of the relationship between Vince and Alison in those days, but I did see an interview recently where Alison pretty much said she was too much to handle in those days.</description>

		<description>Wow- LOVE the remix! I've always been a huge fan of Alison Moyet; Yazoo, Yaz, and all her solo stuff is awesome too. Thanks for introducing me to the new stuff- I'll head right out to see if I can get it!</description>

		<description>OK. I'm usually not a big fan of ballads turned into dance anthems and this one is no exception. Granted it's well done, but I always loved the understated poignancy of the original (which the video captured very well, especially in its twist ending.)
I do love the Yazoo dance numbers, like Situation or Don't Go. But that poignancy is best heard in album tracks like And On or the stunning original version of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4lf6aBEZZs" rel="nofollow"&gt;Ode To Boy&lt;/a&gt; - now, that's a Wonder! 

(Don't get me started on the awful cover Moyet did on her solo album Essex.)

Sorry, old fart from the 80s here.

BTW, I had forgotten about them recording the last one in separate rooms. Did they really hate each other that much?</description>

		<description>LITtle Robert's all grown up, I see. It's a wonder what puberty will do to a nice boy.
Don't push me too hard or you may find yourself lost in a state miles ahead from Tennessee.</description>

		<description>The news out of California is certainly uplifting.  Unfortunately, it’s not a done deal.  The people of California will have the final say this November.  With so many variables at play it seems impossible to predict the outcome once the dust settles.

On a similar note, I would appreciate any insight Johnny, Jerrod, and other California residents can provide concerning the sentiment of Californians where gay marriage is concerned.</description>

		<description>Yeah, Johnny! I got you on your take on marriage. I would consider folks look at a little "Divide &#38; Conquer" Strategy that seems to be playing out. While Gay marriage is being secured for the "Good Gays", those "Bad Queers" who love to stay up late at night and do all sorts of Nasty Things, y'know like drink, dance, and, OMG, suck dick and fuck ass (&#38; more) with un-committed partners, have their playgrounds being hassled with all over these United States. 

People, have you had gay club closings, or gay club nights disappear in your area? Cruisng ground busts heating up in your woods? (They are in Fire Island and Provincetown...)

Any accident that several of NYC's biggest GLBT clubs got shut down just in time for Pride Weekend? Pre-Stonewall all over again.....Only with conservative Gays who can be used to shake a finger at all us 'un-repentant, irresponsible' "Party People".

I stand up for the right for all of us to Marry; but who is standing up for our Right to Pursue Pleasure outside for the Social Fiat of Marriage?

ANY MARRIEDS OUT THERE WANT TO SUPPORT OUR NIGHT-LIFE?

Love to hear from you!

Peace, Pleasure, and the Pursuit of Happiness!

		<description>Welcome “Back”, although, like CHER, you never left!

I worked in an adult retail store in Boston, from 2000-2005, and Johnny's signature replica dong was the hottest seller of ALL the lifelike ‘dill’s in the shop. Johnny, your likeness is being dipped into orifices of men and women of All lifestyles in MASSachusetts! I believe it’s because you’re “Just the Right Size”: not a teeny weenie; not a ‘Doorstop”.

Boy Wonder: you DO remember coverage of Johnny’s casting, but I never saw Johnny blog about it. Specialty Publications did a feature on the casting session in the “MEN OF RASCAL VIDEO” Special Edition magazine. ‘Dipping the wick’ in quick-set latex with straight male ‘casting’ experts, media, and others was probably not up there in the realms of “Bonerific Experiences”. Johnny, gotta give it up to you for getting the necessary “Wood” so that all of us can have a ‘piece’ of you to enjoy!

		<description>Isn't it cute? We get a glimpse of Johnny's inside! I mean, interior. I mean... oh, forget it.

Harvey Fierstein just called and he's interested in turning this into a musical because, hey, it's a movie after all. Working title is "The Hazzard of Oz" and the show-stopper will be "Soooo Over the Rainbow!" The storyline was still being worked out at time of press, but apparently it involves Johnny riding a yellow brick rod AND the immortal line: "Well, Petey, I think we're not in California anymore!"</description>

		<description>As always, Boy Wonder, I love your editorializing! Johnny, I agree with you about the gay marriage controversy being much like the tail wagging the dog ... just some shiny little distraction to keep us occupied while the Bush administration chips away at our first amendment rights and helps make his friends rich by sending young, naive American kids off to war. I'm so glad Petey wasn't bamboozled! More kibble, please!</description>

		<description>Yes Rita, its true.  Hazzard Ahead’s redheaded stepchild has returned.  On another note, your kind words are certainly appreciated.

Frog, you will have to wait for my interview with Barbara Walters.  If she squeezes my nuts hard enough it will be a no holds bar tell all.

I suppose I should return my attention to the subject at hand.  I personally find it deplorable that Hazzard Ahead commentators have been subjected to violence on the basis of their sexual orientation.  However, hate crimes are not limited to America’s countryside. For instance, actor Trev Broudy was severely beaten in the heart of West Hollywood after hugging a male companion.  Such incidents suggest that gay men and lesbians would be well served by taking a self-defense course.</description>

		<description>Well Flip.....I must say that your story tugs at my heart strings out of sympathy one, and two Martha's Vineyard, P Town, Bean Town and LA are places that I have called home at some point in my life.

I think that perhaps as you/ I have gotten older, the general population's attitude towards gays has become more accepting much to our advantage and now we can enjoy those little innuendos and the occasional cock size joke by our straight brothers (I really enjoy that).

I have found too, believe it or not, that when I think that somebody or some group of people are not going to like me for whatever reason it is usually due to my own fears of not being accepted and has nothing to do with the people. Funny how that works. I firmly believe in projecting a confident attitude and strong sense of self. There are times that I do not feel confident and I do not feel strong, but I try to do the best I can and every single time I have been surprised to find that my fears were unjustified.

Thank you for sharing. I MISS P'TOWN!!!!! J</description>

		<description>Good thing this entry is a few month olds. That means few people will come across this embarrassing confession. I was browsing through the food &#38; wine section to find something nice to read and make my generic ratatouille on rice more palatable. Now I find myself getting an erection over a deep dish pizza (with or without Mr Harrelson and an after-dinner spliff though I'll gladly take both.)</description>

		<description>Hey Johnny-
I grew up on Martha's Vineyard, in Massachusetts. I moved away from the Island when I was in my early 20's because it was so unacceptable to be who I was. Not that I was open- but people seemed to know. Guys would chase me to beat me up when they were in a group, but some of the same guys would try to find me for head when they were alone- go figure. I moved to Manhattan, then Boston, then Weho- I lived behind the French Market on Laurel Ave. I learned a lot, and grew a lot while I was gone. Then I found out my mom was sick, and rushed home. She passed 9 months later, but I stayed. When I came back, I decided to be completely open about my sexuality. I'm a bartender, and there are only straight bars here. At first it was tough, but by just being myself I have all these carpenters, painters, plumbers- your basic straight guys- fully accepting of me. They even flirt and make sexual innuendo jokes with me- who'd've thunk. I don't think anyone was more surprised than them to find that they liked me. I still don't have much luck getting laid here- have to head to Ptown or Boston for boys- but it's definitely better.

		<description>Well Robert, it certainly has been a long time. I've heard about certain areas of the south being infiltrated by city dwellers that get sick of the rat race. It's like the loft movement of the late 90s without the annoyance of police sirens, car alarms, junkie hookers and small arms fire at all hours.

Glad to hear things are going well.</description>

		<description>Hello Johnny and Jerrod,

It has been quite sometime since I have posted on your site.  Unfortunately, little has changed here in Northeast Tennessee.  It still remains a place where public displays of affection between members of the same gender would likely be met with verbal hostility at the very least.  However, the area in which I reside is becoming an increasingly popular relocation destination.  It is also beginning to attract second and third homebuyers.  Hopefully, the arrival of more enlightened individuals will begin to chip away at the widespread anti-gay sentiment that reigns supreme around these parts.

On another note, my community may remain the same but I have changed.  A little voice inside of me has said enough is enough.  Consequently, I have no plans of being anyone’s victim.  I have become both outspoken and confrontational in my efforts to defend gay interests.  I am no longer a coward and I will fight in the literal and figurative sense against anyone attempting to railroad me or stand in the way of my rights.</description>

		<description>Hi Ankh! I can't say that I'm surprised, but I certainly am disappointed. Now that I think about it, you don't have to travel very far from the coast in California before things start to feel a little rednecky.

Thanks for the input!</description>

		<description>Hey Johnny...

I'm a 20 something guy from a suburb of Nashville, TN. And, as you most likely know, we're unfortunately a red state. Well... we're really purple... but for the last election, we were red.

Anyway, I watch those movies too... but instead of thinking, "wow, has the world really come around?", I think, "Wow, what a crock of shit they're feeding us!" It's almost as bad as what movies lead you to believe how love really works and such. Or hell... if someone learned how to have sex by watching porn! LOL!

Seriously though, it's an inflated view.
Yes, there is a "gay" area of Nashville... we have a few clubs, a bookstore, a clothing store, and a restaurant all in one little area. But it's less than a city block. Go outside that area and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone "being themselves." It's sad, really. Hell, I don't know that anyone actually "is themselves" in that small block, unless they're inside the comfort of closed doors.

A story made headlines across the nation about a local gay guy who owns a farm having his property repeatedly vandalized... having things like "Die faggot!" written on the side of this house! 

All this, yet our pride festival grows larger each year. But where are we the rest of the year? Do we pack away our testicles each year for safe-keeping until the next years pride festival? Is it that we don't have thousands of others backing us up in the "off-season?"

I try to be who I am all of the time, unless of course I feel physically threatened. 

So, as much as I'd love to say that we've made progress... it's very slow going. Baby steps. But I have faith that we'll get there one day... even if we do have to move out of state! LOL

Lots of love!

		<description>Gryph - Thank you for your meaty reply. It is so interesting to hear about experiences just like yours. I know exactly what you mean about rifts within the gay community from my years in San Francisco. The diversity we claim doesn't always work in our favor. Anyway, it pleases me that you seem to have a well established place in your place of residence. We really hope to hear more positive things from our brothers around the continent.</description>

		<description>Hiya Johnny &#38; Boy Wonder :):) ... thx for the great welcome :D

Let's see ... I was raised in a smallish city about 1 hr west of Toronto. Luckily it's a university city, so there was a well established gay students group on campus when I came out -- mind you I was 14 at the time, so I imagine some of the welcoming attitude had more to do with my age than anything else (chicken hawks were much more open in the early 80's). Back then, we didn't have any gay bars outside of T.O., but the university pubs were very welcoming places, that had all-ages hours after liquor had stopped being served. The rest of the city was pretty standard. You had to speak the language that Sen. Craig made popular in order to get any action -- parks, tearooms, adult bookstores, alleys. My teen years were very educational ;)

In '86, shortly after I graduated HS, I moved to Vancouver and found a completely different attitude from both T.O. and the city I grew up in. The adage that the west coast is more laid back is true north of the 49th too. Living there was my first time in a 'ghetto', but this one was intermixed with well-off seniors, students, single mothers, street people ... a true quilt of mid-80's society. As this was also the beginning of the HIV / AIDS crisis, there was also an increase in the number of hate-crimes perpetrated by homeboys from the suburbs -- I don't think that mentality will ever change as that general gene pool just keeps getting shallower and more murky.

For the past 10 years, I've been on the opposite coast in Fredericton, NB. Oddly enough, the population is about what my hometown was when I was growing up and it's also a university town. Although I'm technically in the capital, it's in the same sense that Albany, NY is -- lots of gov't employees and visitors from the rest of the province, but not much else. Even so, there's always been at least one gay   bar for the past 15 years, lots of gay owned / operated businesses, very few gay-focused hate crimes (which are prosecuted swiftly and fully), openly gay ppl in the city, 'burbs and outlying towns / villages, and no problem cruising someone in public in broad daylight. My partner and I are accepted everywhere we go; we both tend to have a very low tolerance for stupidity and ignorance, so ppl soon learn not to exhibit either when we're around.

The only thing that has continued as a thorn in the side of 'gay life' is the ongoing and completely useless divide between radical lesbians and gay men. Each set of radicals sees the other as incapable of 'understanding' based solely on the equipment between their respective legs. All in all, I'd say that although progress has been slow, we have moved ahead in leaps and bounds throughout the past few decades. Just think, up here, we can now marry (and divorce) right along with everyone else. Mind you, now there'll be a lot more style involved in either proceeding :)</description>

<p>Let&#8217;s see &#8230; I was raised in a smallish city about 1 hr west of Toronto. Luckily it&#8217;s a university city, so there was a well established gay students group on campus when I came out &#8212; mind you I was 14 at the time, so I imagine some of the welcoming attitude had more to do with my age than anything else (chicken hawks were much more open in the early 80&#8217;s). Back then, we didn&#8217;t have any gay bars outside of T.O., but the university pubs were very welcoming places, that had all-ages hours after liquor had stopped being served. The rest of the city was pretty standard. You had to speak the language that Sen. Craig made popular in order to get any action &#8212; parks, tearooms, adult bookstores, alleys. My teen years were very educational <img src='http://www.hazzardahead.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In &#8216;86, shortly after I graduated HS, I moved to Vancouver and found a completely different attitude from both T.O. and the city I grew up in. The adage that the west coast is more laid back is true north of the 49th too. Living there was my first time in a &#8216;ghetto&#8217;, but this one was intermixed with well-off seniors, students, single mothers, street people &#8230; a true quilt of mid-80&#8217;s society. As this was also the beginning of the HIV / AIDS crisis, there was also an increase in the number of hate-crimes perpetrated by homeboys from the suburbs &#8212; I don&#8217;t think that mentality will ever change as that general gene pool just keeps getting shallower and more murky.</p>
<p>For the past 10 years, I&#8217;ve been on the opposite coast in Fredericton, NB. Oddly enough, the population is about what my hometown was when I was growing up and it&#8217;s also a university town. Although I&#8217;m technically in the capital, it&#8217;s in the same sense that Albany, NY is &#8212; lots of gov&#8217;t employees and visitors from the rest of the province, but not much else. Even so, there&#8217;s always been at least one gay   bar for the past 15 years, lots of gay owned / operated businesses, very few gay-focused hate crimes (which are prosecuted swiftly and fully), openly gay ppl in the city, &#8216;burbs and outlying towns / villages, and no problem cruising someone in public in broad daylight. My partner and I are accepted everywhere we go; we both tend to have a very low tolerance for stupidity and ignorance, so ppl soon learn not to exhibit either when we&#8217;re around.</p>
<p>The only thing that has continued as a thorn in the side of &#8216;gay life&#8217; is the ongoing and completely useless divide between radical lesbians and gay men. Each set of radicals sees the other as incapable of &#8216;understanding&#8217; based solely on the equipment between their respective legs. All in all, I&#8217;d say that although progress has been slow, we have moved ahead in leaps and bounds throughout the past few decades. Just think, up here, we can now marry (and divorce) right along with everyone else. Mind you, now there&#8217;ll be a lot more style involved in either proceeding <img src='http://www.hazzardahead.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

		<description>That's why Rita always wears her pregnant nun costume for street festivals. That's a chilled keg in there!

And I second your shock at the echo of hollow wind in comment land. You think I sacrificed clean clothes for a week to throw that video together on Sunday afternoon just so it could be ignored all week?

I know The Frog is purposely holding back, but he's only amphibian after all - he can't wait forever!</description>

		<description>I didn’t want to be the first to post but… isn’t he a cutie-cutie with his short hair?

Rita: baseball… doesn’t it involve balls, jockstraps and a big stick? In that case, count me in.

Oh and I can just picture you with a beer keg on your back while Jim follows behind with all his piercings ringing. Remind me to never board a plane with you guys.</description>

		<description>My computer finally allowed me to view the clip. Mr. Hazzard, what nice panties you have. 

Too bad about the crappy beer ... this is exactly why I never leave home without my own keg.

Thanks for the clip Boy Wonder. Seeing Johnny in action is what it's all about.

Kisses.</description>

		<description>A line like "gay porn IS for everybody" and no one has posted a comment yet!? Reminds me of a great "Will &#38; Grace" exchange, season 3, episode "New Will City:"

Jack: You're in to gay porn, right?
Grace: Who isn't?

(Back to my NBA Championship finals. I'm for the Celtics. I'm sure Johnny and Boy Wonder are for the Lakers. -- Yeah right, like they follow baseball!)</description>

		<description>Now, now, don't you knock Phoenix. If Marion Crane had stayed in Phoenix that week-end, she would never had stopped at the Bates motel and no one would have been stuck with cleaning the bathroom at 1 a.m.

BTW, that video is gorgeous. Oh and the main character ain't bad either. Now all we need is a full-length video for the Solar remix featuring Chi Chi, and Johnny in a shower.

Okay, I think I've managed to creep myself out...</description>

		<description>It's funny you should ask because I grew up near Phoenix. Thankfully my family moved to northern Arizona so now I don't have to deal with Phoenix. Never liked it there. Johnny was there for Pride two years ago. We don't have any plans to return though it's possible he could get booked for a club there...</description>

		<description>Hi Boy Wonder wish I could be there to meet you and Johnny in person. It would be worth all the bad parking, admission fees and lousy drinks. I'll try to catch as much of the webcast (www.lapride.org/webcast) as possible in hopes of seeing you guys and Chi Chi too. By-the-way I did see the video on hazzardcentral. NICE! You are one talented artist!!
When are you going to be in Phoenix?</description>

		<description>A) Love the remix!!  I have always loved that song. I should probably invest in getting it at some point, instead of just listening to it on here once in a blue moon... (This is the slow and painful process most songs go through to get on my computer. I mean, I *just* got "Just the Girl" by the Click Five on here. That's from at least four years ago. :P)

B) Love the dance moves, as always.  I wish I could move like that!

C) This is probably not shocking to anyone, but Johnny's a sexy sexy man.  Just throwin' it out there.

D) Chi Chi is my favorite. Fo' real.</description>

		<description>Hello Johnny &#38; Boy Wonder: What a groove! I got it on iTunes. So a little while ago, I saw “In Bed With,” because of I’ve been a fan of Mr. Jason Ridge over at HHE for a couple of years, and I’m watching a scene and all of a sudden I said, “Who is this little rascal named Mr. Johnny Hazzard?” So my friends think I’m an idiot for not having watched anything by Johnny in the years that I’ve been a fan of gay porn. How did I miss you? I must turn in my PFLAG membership. But, ohhh, Johnny, you are a Renaissance man, and a new favorite. Lovely work!</description>

		<description>Johnny,

There is no better way to describe how I feel watching this clip than to actually quote the very lyrics of the song: "just the very sight of you gives me a UMM, eurphoric high... my heart starts racing, my hands start sweatin'... as I fall deeper, deeper into you."  Watching you shake you ass is some of the best entertainment I've ever witnessed.  I get such a joy watching you interact with ChiChi.  I'm curious if you get the same feelings watching this clip?  I sincerely hope someday I earn the right to shake your hand and call you friend.  Genor</description>

		<description>Aaah, great to see the Lady &#38; the Tramp video again! I never tire of that one. Can that little hippie shake his ass or what? If that's the Solar remix you're planning to make a video of, you really need to find a way to feature Johnny's briefs AND Chi Chi's hair. And I don't mean both on the same person. Please.</description>
