Claude Hooten: My name is Hoot, I’m an Alcoholic

Brad Edwards is known by many names; Claude Hooten, Claude “Hoot” Hooten and sometimes just plain old “Hoot”. You see, back in the day when A.M. talk radio was king, Brad Edwards worked along side radio legends like Wolfman Jack. However, during that time, Edwards was fighting an addiction with alcohol that would soon consume his life.
After a short time, Claude “Hoot” Hooten gained major celebrity in the realm of F.M. and is currently the host of the morning show at KSMA radio. Hoot has also held top rankings in several other markets.
Claude “Hoot” Hooten’s new book, “My name is Hoot, I’m an alcoholic”, will be released on April 1st. The release of the book comes during an appropriate time, as April is considered National Alcohol Awareness Month by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Until then, you can find Claude “Hoot” Hooten on his official blog at www.hootsdrunkablog.spaces.live.com. On his blog, Hoot writes, “I will now officially begin “Hoot’s Drunk-a-Blog.” Let’s share our stories, our strengths and hopes and some of the hilarious adventures we went through along the way to sobriety. In Drunk & Disorderly, Again, “My name is Hoot, I’m an alcoholic,” I reveal things that I wouldn’t even allow myself to think about, much less write into a book that you can read! Oh, by the way, I finally got 10 years and cherish every minute of it.”
