Miami Beach drummer Joey Maya worked his way to the top of the Miami scene then leaped NYC to hit it big in the early 80s. It didn't exactly go as planned but Joey made fast friends in NY and soon found himself immersed in the hardest of hardcore punk which led to years of touring, great stories, and other shots at big-time fame and fortune. This is a classic tale of following your dreams while young without mortgaging the future or self-destruction.
The plan was simple; drop out of high school and become a rock star. But when his wildly popular band unexpectedly folds, rather than give up, Joey Wrecked becomes even more determined to make it in music. What follows is an outrageous adventure of sliding up, and down, the rock and roll ladder. Along the way, there are encounters with The Clash, Steven Tyler, more than a few jealous boyfriends, and much more. His story is one-of-a-kind, funny, and actually... true.
