They have what's sure to be a big hit with their new song, "Page Six Junkie" - a tale of one gossip addict's need to get his celebrity scoops and salacious New York news every morning. "Every day I get my fix, I buy The Post and then I open Page Six," it starts. "I don't read the Sun and I don't read the News/And I don't read the Times cause it gives me the blues . . . Mister Richard Johnson I need my fix!/I need my Post and I need Page Six." The band, fronted by Alexander "Mr. Magenta" Nixon , plays tomorrow at Don Hill's." - PAGE SIX, NYPOST (see photo above)
