No. By the time Hooks got made he was with Joey Dee.

And that '95 indictment was plain silly. Greg and his mouth notwithstanding. If you're interested in Hooks's early years, ask Ivy or one of the researchers to steer you towards one of those legal sites with the indictments and whatnot.

I haven't the foggiest idea, and they're probably pay sites anyway. But if you do go that route, you'll find that Johnny took a couple of big dope pinches as a young guy. That kept him from getting his button for awhile. Not that anyone gave a fuck, but they still did it for show back then. Today they'd make Pablo Escobar if he was half Italian.
