JOHNNY B thinks he has it all: glamour, celebrity friends, free booze, lots of coke, and a roomful of strippers every night.
But Johnny B is a perfect example of what happens to a human being when he falls through the hole in the ozone. The story opens in 2008 when Johnny crashes in pain to the floor of the club where he works. Rushed to the hospital, he needs immediate surgery. As soon as the booze and drugs clear out of his blood, that is.
Flash back to the mid-nineties. Johnny is the hottest DJ in L.A., working at the premiere strip club of the decade, CG’s. He interacts with Hollywood’s A-list actors and rock stars. He’s friends with gangstas, bikers, dealers, and hustlers. He’s buddy, daddy, and mommy to an unpredictable group of beautiful strippers, keeping the club running and helping the girls with everything from boyfriend problems to addictions.
When Johnny B needed a job, he headed to a Los Angeles strip club and found his calling.
Author John Foreman delivers a quirky story in DJ Chronicles as Johnny B faces surgery and looks back at how he ended up in such a mess.
Drugs, alcohol, strippers, and loud music prove to be ingredients for him to build a following as a deejay. His encounters with the dancers quickly teach him how to solve problems on the fly.
The fast pace mirrors Johnny’s life as he becomes one of the legends in the business. However, the author also weaves in the impact of Johnny B’s choices.
DJ Chronicles delivers a front-row seat to a life led without restraint…and the eventual consequences.
