Straight Outta Skokie: Krockey Road Ahead: 1969
Coming in 2026!
Straight Outta Skokie: Krockey Road Ahead: 1969 takes you on a wild ride through one unforgettable year in the life of Al Krockey. From chasing dreams at broadcasting school and running a scrappy two-man radio show, to hustling souvenirs at Wrigley Field and rolling the dice in Las Vegas, every chapter pulses with the restless energy of a young man carving out his place in a changing world. It’s a year of big highs—on stage at Woodstock, a sun-soaked adventure in Jamaica, and the spark of an idea that would become The Record Shack—and heavy lows, from the Cubs’ collapse to brushes with the law and the looming draft lottery. With music, rebellion, and possibility at every turn, 1969 becomes the year Al learns that coming of age means stepping boldly into the unknown.
