This week on Haunt Weekly, we're not discussing haunted attractions. Instead, we're taking our year "holiday" divergence to talk about something that means a great deal to us.
Rather, we're talking with someONE who means a great deal to us and that is George Patience, the performer behind I HATE XMAS, one of the all-time great anti-Christmas tracks.
So sit down with us as we sit down with him and he tells us the history of this amazing song in what can only be described as a celebrity-filled interview, that discusses the crazy times in mid-80s Hollywood.
Check Out I HATE XMAS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PrNn...
