“Sex, drums, and Rock ‘n’ Roll is the story of a wide-eyed 10 year old little boy who saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show and vowed to himself that someday he would share the stage with them. The book cascades his quest to accomplish that. Without guidance Kenny himself managed to ended up on three hundred million sold recordings. The very moment Kenny saw The Beatles he was convinced that that was the way he wanted to end up. He knew that Life is not defined by what we let go but rather what we let in and with a crushing dedication he accomplished that.
“The book is about a little kid who saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show and who 50 years later I got asked to do a CBS special, “The Night That Changed America” where I played with the two remaining Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr…..This is a story about a kid who worked his fucking ass off”….Kenny Aronoff
Kenny takes us through a telescope of memories and inspirations proving that the soul is stronger than we think. One could either look through a mirror and see our true selves or a faint approximation of what we want to be, Kenny chose to become exactly what he wanted to be.
“It’s obvious that you have to work hard and have self discipline and perseverance. The gut feeling, passion,presence and truth is the thing that drove me to make it happen and make key decisions all through my life, I’ve always followed that North star which comes from a place in my heart….Kenny Aronoff
When asked why he wanted to do an audio book with his own voice Kenny answered…. “I always wanted to do my audiobook. I wanted my voice to be heard, telling my story. Nobody can tell my story with my passion better than me.” Kenny believes those listening to his book will be inspired by his story to live their life with bliss and purpose. Kenny’s words are aligned like a rope to cling to. The world is no bigger than the people who inhabit it and everyone should have the opportunity to make their dreams come true.
