when i asked hood why he had decided to move back to the states, he blamed british reporters. " i love England and i miss it very much, but reporters there were driving me crazy. they were always trying to trick me into letting them photograph my face. one day i had just taken a shower when i heard a noise outside my bathroom window. imagine my surprise when i saw a photographer outside the window pointing a camera at me! i grabbed the first thing i could find and thew it over my head. the next day there was a picture of me on the front page of a magazine with a towel over my head! when i complained to my manager the following day, he suggested that we go back to the states. he was right. in the states reporters call me ' that weird guy who wears a hoot.' i find that a bit rude, but at least i can take a shower in peace!"
