Real Life Stories of J. C. and the Breakfast Club...or 20 Minutes in the Dark with Madonna
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


I worked with J.C. Corcoran for a year in St. Louis radio as a member of "The Breakfast Club". I can tell you from personal experience with him that the tales that J.C. presents in this memoir will seem UNreal, but are all too real!
He brings humor, intelligence, and controversy to the table in this book. Most entertaining to me in this book was to see the barbs (well daggers, really) that he fires at former co-workers and St. Louis personalities who have crossed him over the years.
J.C. is a great storyteller, a brilliant writer, and a very misunderstood St. Louis radio host. Those three characteristics demonstrate the enigma that is J.C. Corcoran.
This book will draw you in and make you want to hear more of the life and legacy of the man, the myth, the legend that is J.C.
