WE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN A BUNCH OF BIG BROTHERS TELL WHAT THEY REALLY THINK ABOUT THEIR LITTLE SISTER - AND NOW WE KNOW! HERE'S THE LOWDOWN ABOUT SUSIE COWSILL FROM BARRY, BOB, JOHN AND BILL, RIGHT FROM THE OUTASITE TAPE RECORDER!



BARRY: Susie gets in my hair a lot, because all she wants to do is play games she bought me for Christmas, cos she liked them, most likely, you know. She wants me to do all this stuff with her, but I've got school and more homework than she does. But she's mostly up at her friend's house. Oh, she told you about the time I put together that knitting machine she got for Christmas? That thing! I'm sitting there with that 20-page instruction book and I'm gonna sit there and put it together! Anyway, I got it together. I never used to know how to put things together by following instructions. How come I got to do that instead of Dick or somebody? I'll tell you about Susie — she picks her favorite brothers about once every two or three weeks.

BOB: Susan . . . Susan . . . well, she's a girl-, She talks a lot. A whole lot, kinda too much. She wants her own way, you know, like a typical 9-year-old little girl. But you know, she's got a lot going for her. She's smart. She's easy to work with. She's easier to work with than John, when it comes to music.

JOHN: Susan? Can't say anything bad about her. BOB: WHAT??

JOHN: Well, maybe I can sometimes, but I don't cos there isn't anything bad about her, and she's a pet.

BILL: Susan has got about as much class as a girl twice her age. Most 9-year-old girls are brats, and act really silly, and when you walk in and you say "Hi, honey1" they fall down on the floor and roll over and stick their tongues out, and they say some vulgar words that they picked up. But Susan has got class, she's like n classy 9-year-old. Her stage presence is beautiful, and she's just a beautiful all-around person. You know, she loves everybody, and everybody loves her because she's so ... site's really there.

JOHN: Susan . . . she's nice. She's the nicest sister we could have.


Being Susie Cowsill has it's ups and downs!
