I Was A 400-pound '80s DJ: My Memoirs Through Music

Burlington Vermont author M.K. Thompson is a DJ (known as Fattie B). His first book I Was A 400-pound 80s DJ is a hilarious collection of true short stories of his time behind the decks in a small town dance club. I Was A 400 Pound 80s DJ is not a book about how cool it is to be a DJ. Rather it is a collection of short tales shared through a life-long connection with 80s music that boldly bounce from surreal to silly (all while setting the record straight on proper patron-to-DJ etiquette). While most believe a DJs life is all hands in the air and V.I.P. parties this book is here to show the underbelly and the reality of its ugly truth. As the resident DJ of a weekly 80s dance party in Burlington for the last 17 years Fattie B has seen and heard just about everything. Each chapter of this book begins with a few lyrics from an 80s song followed by a short story about an experience that relates to each songs message. As a rapper in a touring band and a DJ for over 20 years Fattie shared the stage with such talents as: The Roots Kool & The Gang A Tribe Called Quest Black Eyed Peas The Wailers Morris Day & The Time Maceo Parker Busta Rhymes KRS-One DJ Z-Trip Slick Rick Africa Bambaata The Pharcyde Jurassic 5 Common Big Daddy Kane Talib Kweli DJ Questlove DJ Rob Swift and DJ Revolution.
