Velvet Tom is into Singin', Sinnin', Lovin', Winnin' and Losin'.
His interests also include seducing you with my renditions of Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" and Backstreets "I Want it That Way", and MANY MORE!!!
Velvet Tom Part Two
"I love music! After all it's my bag, Cats and Kittens!" - Velvet Tom.
Music makes VT much more tolerable and less repelent to his public!
Some of Velvet Tom's fans were and still are some of the biggest names in the industry:
John Cash (I can call him John, I knew him),
Bobby Zimmerman (You know him as Bob Dylan, but when you're invited to his Bar Mitzvah, and he get's you high at that same Bar Mitzvah, you reserve the right to call him by his God given name),
U2 (Even though that Bono fella stole my whole, 'world peace and the decrease of world debt' rap after my fall from grace with the public back in the '90s. It was totally my idea, but how can I prove it?
PLUS MANY, MANY MORE!!
Movies
The following is an excerpt from, Playpen Magazine July 1995:
"I'm a huge fan of movies!
I coulda' been a huge movie star and a Trans-Continental Phenomenon if I'd only taken the role of the gay bank robber in 'A Dog Day Afternoon'.
Although I cannot commit to certain titles of movies, I'm a big fan of the comedy genre...laughter is a cure-all for everything accept for Cancer and AIDS, but a broken heart?...that's another story. Unless your broken heart was caused by Cancer or AIDS then nothings funny, and you're, well, kinda screwed.
I dig a good romance once in a while. Even VT has a soft and sensative side that isn't guided by the overwhelming aching in his pants.
Horror films can go screw themselves, because never once in a horror movie does the bad guy end up killing the entire cast and rendering him victorious...where's the reality people!?"
Television
Velvet Tom on his TV watching habits:
"I don't really have much use for television if they're not going to let me on it.
I've lost interest with reality television, even though I am in my own talks with VH1 to become an extra added feature of their Celebreality Programing, where 24 gorgeous women from across the US are picked to live in a house with me, and each week 2 of them get to reject me for their own personal reasons."
Books
I love Celebrity Biographies.
And I'm publishing mine...just as soon as I have something to write about.
Velvet Tom part One
When asked at the Annual Playboy Mansion Halloween Party in 2003, Velvet Tom had this to say:
My hero is, well, me. Duh.
I should be your hero too.
Some other folks I look up to are people that get up every day and create art. Art that serves the public. Not the artists that are tormented and provocative for arts sake. I don't tolerate the angry person who selfishly exploits his/her craft because Daddy didn't hug them or Mommy hugged them too much, or they came from the streets, or the school of hard knocks where their school colors are black and blue and they have somethin' to say. I pity them and I hope they get help, but they gum up the works, and give a bad name to those hardworking folks who just want to give back. Instead the bad seeds fuel a conservative agenda to keep Johnny from buying the Kanye West album in the event he might hear the word "fuck" in context. (LONG PAUSE. COUPLE OF SIPS ON HIS DRINK)
Oh, and I like Superman too.
About me: What can we say? Velvet Tom is a hard drinkin', hard lovin', B-List Lounge Singer with an A-list libido.
He has such a voice that it'll make your panties melt off...right through your jeans.
With the help of Velvet Tom's back up singers, The Velveetahs and his band the Velours, we'll guarantee any ordinary night out into a night of love, and smarm. One you will most certainly not forget.
Velvet Tom has been wowing audiences for years with his rousing versions of songs, previously ruined by the ones who originally performed them.
VT is about to embark on his 10th comeback in 11 years. We invite you to acquaint yourself with the mystery and magesty, that is Velvet Tom.
It's time for you to believe that he is a Lover. Loser. And Legend.
