LIL MIKEY ROOHAN

My life as Howard Stern's most prolific song parodist.

The Prologue

No spoilers below the fold. Just the opening.

Prologue

There I was, backstage at the Hammerstein Ballroom, about to perform in front of a room full of Hollywood A-listers. I was singing Eminem's "Lose Yourself" to myself, under my breath. I only had one shot. I was nervous. I was the first parody guy going on.

Right when I was about to panic, Kenny Aronoff โ€” who had just finished playing drums for John Fogerty โ€” gave me a fist bump and told me good luck.

The same Kenny Aronoff who played that epic drum fill in "Jack & Diane." The same Kenny Aronoff who put on a drum clinic when I was seventeen. The same Kenny Aronoff who had just walked off that stage with John Fogerty.

Who Is This Guy

Michael "Lil Mikey" Roohan
