THERE IS ONLY ONE JOHNNY NEPTUNE
_______________________________
This is me appearing on the Geraldo Show in 1991. My girlfriend at the time and I were offered the opportunity to 'fill seats', or to lie about our situation and add colorful and humorous commentary. At the time, Geraldo had just released a book in which he admitted having sex with hundreds of women, including the wives of some really famous people. I was asked to poke fun at him about the book, which i do when I compare myself to him... The topic was prostitution, and I played 'David', a bouncer in a whorehouse. My girlfriend at the time, Jill, played 'Rebecca', a hooker at the whorehouse. We were in NYC for 3 days to tape the show, and we each received $1,600 for our performance, as well as $200 per diem. All in all, we cleared $4,400... I distorted my face by making fake nose, chin and cheekbones with stage putty. I also wore a wig and fake moustache, as well as a pair of dummy glasses i purchased in Times Square on the way to the CBS studios. Geraldo Rivera was a fairly cool guy. He was really short, but had a big personality. During the commercial breaks, he kept leaning in real close to the hooker he says looks like Julia Roberts and hitting on her. ( she looks absolutely NOTHING like Julia Roberts ) Other than us, EVERY person on the stage was actually in the prostitution industry.

Growing up in Memphis, across the street from Graceland, Johnny Neptune proved his status as a true child prodigy by composing his own original music and producing stop-frame animated claymation films by the age of 10. Before finishing Elementary School, his talent in illustration and graphic design had been featured in newsprint and TV.
His first magazine cover was executed at the age of 13, and was for an international publication. By the age of 16, he was producing his own multitrack compositions in one of the first digital recording studios, playing all of the instruments himself.
Oddly, in his early youth, Neptune began claiming to be a 'clairvoyant', with many of his psychic 'foretellings' having been verified, but it gets even weirder than that...
Looking somewhat older than his age of 15, he was accidentally hired as a doorman at a nightclub. " They never asked how old I was...", says Neptune.
"...But it blew their minds three years later, on my 18th birthday !!!" This early entrance into the nightclub and music scene led to performing live and deejaying in danceclubs
The unique entertainer claims to have been hired by a powerful Chicago-based organized crime family, who had extensive ties in the nightclub scene.
Explaining the unorthodox way he applied for the job, Johnny remarks, "The boss told me they didn't have any openings in thier organization. He asked me
'what would I do' if they hired me. I told him I'd 'be watching everything', and would always know everything that's going on..." He was hired immediately, and to officiate his new employment, he walked straight up to the bar and ordered an entire round of drinks. " I told the bartender that I would be drinking for free from now on, and I sat there and drank all five drinks in a row "...
Johnny Neptune also has another claim to fame. He has painted dozens of one-of-a-kind portraits of Elvis for countless celebrities. These stunning paintings have hung in the homes and studios of such well-known entertainers as Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Big Audio Dynamite, The Talking Heads, The Eurythmics, Spinal Tap, Bob Hope, ZZ Top, Mick Jagger, Jay Leno, Duran Duran, David Lee Roth, The Ramones, INXS, Devo, The Pretenders, Hank Williams Jr., Fine Young Cannibals, Motley Crue, Pink Floyd, Adam Ant, Andy Kauffman, Robert Goulet, and U2, to literally name a few...
He has worked as an art director for ZZ TOP, under the auspices of Lone Wolf Records and Warner Bros., as well as creating treatments on screenplays, and producing computer-generated 3D animations.
Currently living in Atlanta, Neptune now devotes his time to painting photorealism and producing his unique electronic music.
