Kickin' Out the Jams ~ The Purple Haze of My Crazy Daze in Radio

by Sean Conrad

Overview

A record spinner's memoirs...

The true story of the day-to-day, play-by-play adventures of a young, insecure, teenage wallflower, from a small Midwestern factory town, who dives head first in to the rabbit hole of psychedelia, flaxen, waxen, sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

In the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Sean Conrad experiences the ups and downs of having just too damn much fun--and the consequences that come with it. From hanging out with rock stars to being homeless...and back again. From Porsches to the potholes of life. From scribbling autographs to signing divorce papers. Can there possibly be a happy ending?

Editorial Reviews

Kickin' Out the Jams is a very candid look at an ambitious guy who fell in love with radio at a young age, knew what he wanted, and went after it with gusto. Replete with sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Sean takes you on a journey through his life in radio when radio was everything.

The man's had an amazing life, from driving under the influence and creaming three cars on his way home, to partying with the like of John Lennon and Michael Jackson's family, Conrad has done just about everything imaginable and managed to survive. He recounts these experiences with humor, a touch of sadness in places, and a down-to-earth perspective that's highly appealing. This is a book that you'll want to keep on your shelves and revisit time and again.
