Jim Esposito Jim Esposito

A dubious distinction at best, Grace Slick once told Freelancer Jim Esposito he was "like the weirdest guy I ever met." Based in Florida and then Los Angeles, Esposito was published in Creem, Circus, Rock Magazine, Zoo World and Oui when it was owned by Playboy.

A student of Gay Talese and Tom Wolfe’s New Journalism, Esposito wrote a number of insightful profiles, was known for his "on the scene" backstage reports, which often revealed a glimpse into an artist’s personality rarely seen otherwise. His low key approach opened up artists such as Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore and The Starship’s Grace Slick, who would not speak more than superficially to others.

Today Esposito is a widely read Fantasy Football correspondent for ffMastermind.com under the nom de plume Jimmy The Finger. In addition, Esposito operates several websites: the Rocking Rollover Leagues and www.readhighfliers.com, where readers can enjoy his Adventure Comedy, High Fliers, originally serialized in Flash magazine.
