What it’s about:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>

After being knocked to the floor by his mother in 1955 during a \u201creefer madness\u201d moment, Joseph \u201cJoe Kool\u201d Jack bids his New Orleans family life adieu\u2014seeking sex, drugs, and rock \u2018n roll; which triggers a long Forrest Gump type journey of funny and outrageous misadventures that reveal Joe\u2014at least in his own mind\u2014as the real genius and driving force behind many of history\u2019s greatest rock and pop culture moments.<\/p>

Joe\u2019s hedonistic quest gets a righteous start when he winds up naked and on the wrong end of the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun after escaping the sharp knife of a voluptuous beauty he was romancing\u2014all because he made the most egregious mistake a man could ever make while in the midst of being intimate with a woman. While in his \u201cbirthday suit,\u201d Joe straps on a guitar and does a completely naked Chuck Berry \u201cduck walking\u201d routine in order to weasel his way out of being shot; and simultaneously performs a subtle bit of subterfuge to camouflage an urgent need, which results in the creation of a rock \u2018n roll device that would later become the forte of rocker\/guitarist Pete Townsend and a zillion other guitar players\u2026.The \u201cpure genius\u201d of Joe Kool Jack is born!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In Joe\u2019s efforts to leave New Orleans he befriends a crazed couple; but he soon ends up on the run from them after he becomes an unwitting participant in a serious crime that the couple commits. He escapes to Memphis, Tennessee knowing that there are bullets marked with his name on them. But his escape leads him to stumble upon and cultivate the number one most important entity in the history of rock \u2018n roll\u2026.trouble is, he doesn\u2019t get the time to capitalize on it because the crazed couple track him down, and he has to run once again\u2014his life continues in this mode of outrageous rock ‘n roll discovery for quite a few years until he is finally forced to \u201cfade to black\u201d.<\/p>

Rock \u2018n roll is the name of Joe Kool Jack\u2019s game…and he makes it conspicuously known that he was a central player in many of the great musical moments that are now part of our cultural lexicon…..Well, at least inside his own mind!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
