"Novelty Act" is the memoir of the dancing trombone player known for his appearances on "America's Got Talent", "Steve Harvey's Big Time", "Showtime In Harlem" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". Aside from stories about what it was like to compete on these shows, Arons shares a life full of awkward sex and personal discovery as he finds out who he is and how he fits into society as the dancing trombone player. With a unique perspective on race, sexuality, and privilege, Arons presents elements of his "trinary matrix" theory to help navigate today's world of hyper polarized identity politics. It's like a cross between Frankl's "Man' Search for Meaning" and an opposite version of the movie "Green Book" where the only high stakes of a nerdy straight white guy who can dance is to claim his soul.

John Burton is a co-founding member of the notorious band Doug and The Slugs. Introduced to Doug Bennett by John ‘Wally’ Watson in the summer of 1977, Doug and the author quickly formed the personal and musical chemistry that led to the meteoric rise of the band from a basement Halloween party to national recognition in less than two years. Doug and The Slugs—50,000 Slug Fans Can’t be Wrong is a real page turner written in a conversational style and definitely the author’s own voice. There is humility and humour, triumph and tragedy, defeat and redemption in this compelling read of the legendary party band’s rise, fall, and rise again. The memoir has larger than life characters one would expect from the entertainment industry. Especially interesting is the intel into how the records were made, where they were made and with whom. Burton’s analysis of the finished recorded products and marketing is equally engaging for both readers familiar with and not familiar with the music business. As you might expect there is insider information only someone with Burton’s experience could share about some giants of the industry like Ritchie Cordell, Levon Helm, Sam Feldman and Denise Donlon. From cover to cover Doug and The Slugs--50,000 Slug Fans Can’t be Wrong is a good read. The narrative is well illustrated by amusing and nostalgic photographs with captions throughout. All in All Highly Entertaining!
