Prince Bashful - a strip-club disc jockey's story (Paperback)

Working as a disc jockey in the strip-clubs of Memphis, Tennessee for most of the 1990's had its ups and downs for Kendall Johnson. Always feeling like an outsider, he became a victim of his own devices - leading him down the dark paths of drug abuse and self-loathing. The only thing that would save him was perhaps related to his perpetual optimism and believing in a way out when there wasn't one. Kendall Johnson was destined for greatness from the very beginning. Finding himself the new kid in various towns throughout Mississippi, growing up was something that seemed couldn't happen soon enough. But he did grow up, and after studying Broadcasting and failing at every conventional job he attempted to work, on the fateful night when he found himself all dressed up and nowhere to go but home, he finally found his wings - through a chance meeting with an overworked strip-club DJ that ultimately led to his getting his own gig as a DJ in the seedy strip-clubs of the 1990's club scene in Memphis, Tennessee. Married to a prostitute once, a drug addict for most of his twelve years in the clubs, Prince Bashful takes the reader through the perils of Kendall's life as a local fixture of the Memphis nightlife, and follows him through all the ups and downs of working one of the most notoriously testosterone-ridden occupations in existence. You'll see him at his best and worst. You'll either love him or abhor him. But the one thing you won't do is deny that Prince Bashful is a riveting read complete with a surprise ending that sets up the next books by Kendall Johnson and will leave you both scratching your head and begging for more.
