JOHNNY GASKILL
Otherwise known as: Johnny G
Birthday: July 3rd
Hometown: River Forest, IL
e-mail: JohnnyGaskill@gmail.com
Current home: Oak Park, Chicago
Working on: some festival, concert, radio show, tv show, studio session or event happening in or around Chicago while trying to maintain my sanity.
I stay home to watch: The Office, 30 Rock, Entourage, Weeds- all recorded of course- who has time for commercials?!
Worst childhood memory: blocked it out, nice try.
Personal heroes: Dave Grohl. He’s played in and with some of the greatest bands in the world- Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles. I envy his career.
You may have seen or heard me: on Q101 in Chicago or on 97.9 The Loop’s Jonathon Brandmeier Show or screaming at drunk people from backstage.
Nobody knows I’m: not a coffee drinker. Never. All natural. Well, sorta.
I’ve never been able to: Stay in one place for more than 8 hours.
My fantasy is: to bring the music industry back to normal.
If I could change one thing about myself: I’d try to be healthier and quit smoking.
People who knew me in high school thought I was: very strange
My most irrational act: working for days and sometimes weeks with little or no sleep.
Pigout food: portillos. Double bacon cheeseburger with large fries, side of cheese, and a large coke. Yum.
When I’m not working, I’m: working somewhere else.
If I’ve learned one thing in life: destiny is bullshit. I’m in charge.
The three words that best describe me: brilliantly insane and sleepy
