tour book" about himself which is scheduled to come out sometime in June. "I got a publishing deal with Slim-Skinny Publications," Toxic said. "They put out rock n' roll art table books and they have one out about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They're having me write a book about the last couple of years in the life of Johnny Toxic. It's called Drug Star Cowboy, and we're getting some interest from people to do a film based on it.
"It's about 250 pages right now," Toxic added. "It'll be bigger than a paperback. It'll be along the lines of a Hunter S. Thompson book with over 200 pictures from all the different things I've done, dating back to me opening for bands and the troubles I had as a teenager. It's a pretty entertaining read.
"They gave me an advance, and I've been writing it. We're looking to have the initial part done February 1st with the book coming out in June.
"They're setting up a book tour for me to do at the colleges," Toxic went on to say. "One of my chapters in the book is Labor Day Weekend 1999 [which Toxic spent with the GM Video crew] and one of the chapters is behind the scenes of Vomitorium. It's all the way from when I was a teenager wanting to be on Howard Stern to the last ten years celebritizing myself to where I could make it on Howard Stern. I think it's going to be very popular. It's very cutting edge and X-rated. It's very rock n' roll. I think it's something that the 18 to 25 year olds are going to start reading and maybe it will expose them a little bit more to this business. They all think it's just Ron Jeremy." Toxic said he'll also be announcing a new record deal at CES.
