George: ALRIGHT, WHEN CANADIAN ROCK STAR, HAWKSLEY WORKMAN, DECIDED TO ASK LARISSA GULKA TO TAKE HIM ON A TAROT CARD READING DURING HIS INTERVIEW, IT SEEMED ONLY APPROPRIATE. THE GUY'S GOT A HUGE ALBUM WITH TONS OF CRITICAL SUCCESS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND HE'S GOT A HECTIC TOUR SCHEDULE. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE HE WANTS TO SEE WHAT HIS FUTURE HOLDS.

ć STRIPTEASE FOR ME BABY ć

Hawksley: THINK ABOUT IT. ISN'T THAT AN AMAZING IDEA, IF THERE WAS QUEEN SIZE CAKE BEDS, CHOCOLATE CAKE BEDS?

[Caption: Hawksley is a chocoholic]

Hawksley: WARM CAKE BEDS, TO BE SLEEPING ON CHOCOLATE CAKE BEDS. SO I'M THINKING I SHOULD BE WRITING, INSTEAD OF CHICK CHATTING, ABOUT CHOCOLATE CAKE BEDS.

ć WOULDN'T IT BE FINE ć
ć WOULDN'T IT BE NICE ć
ć WITH A BED MADE OF CAKE ć
ć CHOCOLATE CAKE ć
Larissa: ... CHOCOLATE CAKE BEDS. I LOVE THAT IDEA.

ć WHO'S GOING TO MAKE ć
ć A CHOCOLATE CAKE BED ć
ć YOU CAN'T GET OUT ć
ć OF YOUR CHOCOLATE CAKE BED ć
ć GOT CHOCOLATE ć
ć IN YOUR HAIR ć

Hawksley: THAT'D BE THE PROBLEM IF YOU HAD A BED MADE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE BECAUSE THEN YOU'D END UP HAVING CHOCOLATE IN YOUR HAIR ALL THE TIME. I'M NOT ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING.

Larissa: YOU'RE NOT SNEEZING YET. YOU'RE JUST STANDING THERE.

Hawksley: NO, NO, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR HOURS JUST ADMIRING MY SHOES AGAINST THE CARPET AND I HAVEN'T SNEEZED, I HAVEN'T BROKEN OUT IN A RASH, THERE'S NO CHRONIC DIARRHEA, NOTHING. THE ONLY THING THAT I'M STILL ALLERGIC TO RIGHT NOW IS THE TRUTH.

ć [ RATTLING ]

Hawksley: ALLERGIES ARE ABOUT, UM, UNREALIZED FEARS.

[Caption: Hawksley say a hypnotherapist last year to cure his fear of flying.]

Hawksley: WHEN YOU START BEING AFRAID OF EVERYTHING THEN YOU START TO NOT DO THINGS. SO -- NOT TO SAY THAT I'M, YOU KNOW -- SO MAYBE ALLERGIES ARE JUST FEAR. YOU KNOW, YOUR BODY IN FEAR OF DOG HAIR. IT WAS A LONG NIGHT. 6 a.m.

[ BACKGROUND DIN ]

Larissa: WHY DID YOU WANT TO GET A TAROT CARD READING DONE TODAY?

Hawksley: THIS IS A CRAZY POINT IN MY LIFE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'M A YOUNG KID, AS YOU KNOW, WHO'S GOT ALL OF THIS STUFF GOING ON AND I THINK THAT FROM TIME TO TIME, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER TO YOU, THAT THERE'S LOTS OF LITTLE VOICES COURSING AWAY IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR STOMACH AND EACH ONE OF THEM CLAIMS THEY HAVE THE TRUTH AND THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE THE TRUTH THAT YOU'RE AFRAID TO LISTEN TO.

Roxanne: NOW, IT DOES INDICATE THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF PERSONAL ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE CARDS.

[Caption: Roxanne, Mystical Vision Psychics]

Roxanne: NOW, THIS INDICATES THAT EMOTIONALLY YOU HAVE SOME THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO RELEASE AND LET GO OF, OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THAT YOU ARE IN NEED OF A DEEP AND POWERFUL EMOTIONAL RELEASE.

ć NOT WILLING ć
ć TO STRETCH YOUR LOVE ć
ć NO SUCKERS FOR YOU LOVE ć
ć NO ACTORS FOR YOUR LOVE ć
ć NO GANGSTERS FOR YOUR LOVE ć
[Caption: What pretty poison in a bottle?]

ć NO SISSIES GET YOUR LOVE ć

Roxanne: I'M SEEING SOMEONE WHO HAS NATURALLY LIGHTER COLOURED HAIR, SO MAYBE LIGHT BROWN, DARK BLONDISH, YOU KNOW, MEDIUM RANGE COLOUR OF HAIR AND IT SHOWS LOTS OF EMOTION AND LOTS OF HARMONY BUILDING THROUGH. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMEONE WHO'S PROBABLY CANCER, PISCES OR SCORPIO AS WELL.

[Caption: Hawksley performs with both classical instruments and rock back-up bands.]

ć YOU CAN'T BE CRYING ć
ć NOW I FEEL SO HAPPY ć
ć THAT WE'RE HERE TOGETHER ć

Roxanne: YOUR FINANCIAL ASPECTS DO, EACH YEAR, INCREASE AND GROW SO THERE'S LOTS OF POTENTIAL FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITY. BUT IT DOES INDICATE YOU'RE BLOCKING YOUR SUCCESS. Hawksley: THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY HERE, I THINK I STILL HAVE THE JURISDICTION OVER THE FUTURE BY THE DECISIONS I MAKE NOW.

[Caption: Hawksley Workman]

Hawksley: SO YOU SAY THIS IS HAPPENING OR MAKE THIS IS HAPPENING AND IF THEY'RE GUIDES TO THE DECISIONS I MAKE FOR THE FUTURE OR, YOU KNOW -- I STILL THINK THAT THEY'RE MY DECISIONS TO MAKE AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH FATED.

Roxanne: OH, WELL, THERE'S WHERE WE DISAGREE. I DO BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN THINGS ARE FATED. IT INDICATES SOME TYPE OF LAWSUIT OR INJUNCTION THAT CAN BE PLACED UPON YOU BASED ON A YOUNG LADY FROM WHAT I SEE HERE. SO IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PHYSICAL THING THAT HAPPENS BUT IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT -- IT COULD BE DEFAMATION, IT COULD BE ANYTHING. SO YOU'LL HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.

Hawksley: THE LEGAL THING HAS ADMITTEDLY GOT ME INTERESTED. WAS THIS A BAD JUDGEMENT?

Roxanne: I THINK THIS WOULD BE BAD JUDGEMENT MAYBE POSSIBLY ON YOUR PART OR MAYBE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE WITH AT THAT TIME.

ć I'LL WILL TRULY LOVE ć
ć THE KISSING THAT I'M MISSING ć
ć TRULY WISH & LET YOU LISTEN ć ć WHEN I SWEETLY ASK YOU TO ć
ć STRIPTEASE FOR ME BABY ć

Larissa: DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN FATE OR DESTINY?

Hawksley: I BELIEVE IN GOOD AND EVIL. I BELIEVE IN TRUST AND FAITH. BUT DESTINY AND FATE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT.

ć SWEET CRADLED ć
ć AND NO BEGINNING ć
ć AND NO END ć
ć NO ć

Larissa: WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE PREDICTIONS THAT ROXANNE HAS MADE? DO YOU SEE THEM AS PREDICTION?

Hawksley: I JUST SEE THEM AS, UM, AS MY OWN LITTLE TRUTHS. IT'S SOMETIMES SHOCKING AND STARTLING WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID HEARING YOUR OWN VOICE SAY AND I FIND THAT THAT TENDS TO BE MORE -- I DON'T SEE THEM AS MUCH PREDICTIONS, MORE AS SOMEBODY WHO'S ABLE TO BREAK IN THE CLOSET AND SHINE THE LIGHT ON THE STUFF YOU'VE TRIED TO HIDE AWAY.

Roxanne: IT'S NOT IMPORTANT THAT WE WIN. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LOVE. AND EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, IT'S BETTER THAN NO MOMENT AT ALL, YOU KNOW. SO ALLOW IT TO JUST FLOW AND NOT NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF ALL THE TIME.

Hawksley: WELL, ISN'T THAT ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID?

ć NO ACTORS FOR YOUR LOVE ć
ć NO GANGSTERS FOR YOUR LOVE ć
