The book revisits his 1990s New York DJ years in a song-driven account published this week.

Overview

  • Night People was released Sept. 16 by Grand Central and chronicles his club-scene coming-of-age through roughly 245 named songs.
  • The narrative focuses on the 1990s and closes around Jan. 13, 2000, before his later hitmaking career.
  • Ronson recounts candid episodes from the era, including a childhood memory of Robin Williams, a warning not to play Michael Jackson in front of Prince, and risky drug use he says once included taking heroin by accident.
  • He tells TODAY.com he wants his children to read the memoir despite its frank stories.
  • Ronson says he is collaborating again with Greta Gerwig on music for her new Netflix film, which the company has not confirmed.
