How I Got the Hip Disc Jockey Blues

By john b. ryland

From a star-struck Neil Young fan in Memphis, Tennessee, to a sagacious DJ and record promoter, John Ryland takes you on an insightful - and often outrageous - trip inside the provocative world of the radio and music industries. Beginning as a part-time disc jockey in a makeshift studio in Korea, to a maverick DJ in Denver, Colorado, and finally, to a savvy record promoter, his story is both entertaining and insightful. For anyone whose dream is being a DJ or a music promoter, you may find this right up your alley. Ryland takes you from the heights of his exciting and flourishing career to the depths of his fall. His analysis of how corporate radio has controlled and suppressed the talents of gifted disc jockeys picks up where Tom Petty's The Last DJ ends.
