0. General information about this FAQ
The Hooters FAQ was started by Donna D ([email protected]) in 1996 as a further attempt to corral all the info about the band into one comprehensive and readable document. This was a part of the ongoing expansion of Internet support for the Hooters, in anticipation of their 6th studio album, due 1997, which seems to have become Largo (see Section 2.8).

This FAQ is nowhere near complete!!! I'm doing the maintaining for now, so if you want to make a relevant addition, email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to include it.

Please note that in the Personal section I will not print family info as this is private, and against the wishes of the band members, and I probably don�t know anyways; only school and interest histories accepted.

Don't be concerned if you don't receive a reply immediately- I check email for this site a couple times a month, and I will get back to you as soon as I can..

DISCLAIMER
The facts in this FAQ are mostly !unofficial! but deemed true. Only kind people, "hearsay" and our relentless perusal and pursuit of dog-eared copies of old publications & fan newsletters are acknowledged as sources. Perhaps one day hubris or a band member will take this over and the FAQ will become certifiable. So be warned- this information is provided strictly 'as is' for public use and enjoyment. Please address all corrections of glaring errors to Rebecca ([email protected]).
