raymy | 18.01.2005 18:46 | Tom-oholics Anonymous In the beginning it all seemed quite harmless and normal...listening to a bit of Tom with friends on a social occasion, or celebrating the end of a hard week by playing a TW record on Friday night. But suddenly things started getting out of control.First thing in the morning i'd need a shot of Tom before i could even think straight, or function like a regular person. Somehow it got me through the morning at work, before i could go out for a lunchtime fix with my Walkman. Man, i was getting a real taste for this guy's ear juice. Pretty soon i was downing the hard stuff...obscure bootlegs,compilations, The Early Years Vol One. If i went more than an hour without a hit i'd start getting the DT's ( delirium Tom's). I became a secret listener,cancelling dates and appointments so i could feed my furtive habit. My girlfriend left me,saying that i had become a different person and she didn't know me any more. One day the boss called me in and said " we know what you're up to sonny...coming in here every morning bleary-eyed and slurring your words". I denied everything, but he sent me to Tomoholics Anonymous for treatment.They put me on a Cold Turkey withdrawal programme but it drove me mad going without my daily dose of Tom.Then they tried me on a new wonderdrug called Jamie Cullum (it's a kind of musical Kaliber lager),but that didn't work either.Made me sick in fact.I walked out of Tomoholics Anonymous and went straight to the record store for a pick-me-up.Some addictions are worth having i feel,and there's nothing like the hair of the (rain)dog is there?
