Description
Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview is my memoir, the story of my rock radio-related early life and career wrapped around John Lennon’s final interview which I co-conducted for RKO Radio at the Dakota in New York back on December 8, 1980 mere hours before he was shot and killed! I also wrote the incredibly well-received 3 hour RKO special that aired a mere 6 days after John’s assassination - John Lennon - The Man, The Memory - as well as the international 17 hour radio show RKO Presents The Beatles-The Beatles From Liverpool to Legend! I definitely wrote my book to attract readers and create awareness of my rock radio related existence, which has always been important to me since as a toddler, I began living with a transistor radio in my ears to stay away from my dysfunctional family! I tell my readers all about being a teenage runaway thanks to my unfortunate family upbringing, as well as how Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll sent me up the road not only to John Lennon’s last day on the planet, but also to tons of other incredible interviews I conducted - everyone from Paul & Linda McCartney and Wings to George Harrison, George Martin, Little Richard Penniman, The Ramones, Talking Heads, etc. - and they're all featured, described and quoted in my book! I’ve also not only guested on a number of podcasts (most of which are featured on my book’s website - https://www.confessionsofarocknrollnamedropper.com) - but also on many radio and TV shows!
