From his early years as a radio DJ, music critic, and rock singer to his lengthy career as a concert promoter, Kenny Weissberg lived all his childhood dreams—some of which turned into nightmares.
In Off My Rocker, he presents a rollicking backstage look at the merriment and mayhem of a life devoted to music. Surrounded by an all-star cast, he shares vivid, uncensored stories about James Brown, Whitney Houston, Leonard Cohen, Aretha Franklin, Bill Murray, and countless other showbiz legends.
A spicy confessional filled with trenchant insights and self-deprecating humor, this memoir will take you on an unforgettable ride through six decades of pop culture.
“Amazing! This book is just crackling with insider tales that alternately were hysterically funny, full of pathos, rife with plot twists, and . . . really sweet! It’s a love story too—this guy’s life partner obviously hopped on the musical roller-coaster and stayed on it with him for years and years. So many of the people he worked with are my heroes—it’s fantastic to hear more about them . . . Bravo!”- Ivan Holmes, Amazon reviewer
