Description
Through the portals of time Trotsky takes you back to the year that changed the world, 1968. The Beatles, the Haight Ashbury, LSD, the Vietnam War and protest to it as seen through the eye's of a normal middle class kid growing up in Central California. His journey begins in Berkeley, ground zero for the cultural revolution that would happen. The music, the drugs, the sexual revolution, 'Frankie said' is an X rated cultural anthropological study, and wildly entertaining. A run away from home, he invents a new identity, and survives the eventful and tumultuous time. With experience having done it, becomes a counselor of runaway's and young people leaving home to get away from parents, take drugs, be free, in his new home, Cambridge, Massachusetts, the East Coast equivalent to Berkeley. Returning the day after his eighteenth birthday to California, life in San Francisco's North Beach is fertile ground for glittered beards and playing with gender roles, in a time when it had true shock value while working days as a cabinetmaker at the Exploratorium Science Museum at the Palace of Fine Arts. Required reading for hippies, one particular Flamenco dancer, gay boys, Dead Heads, anti-war activists, straight girls, banjo players, historians, former drug addicts and alcoholics, who've survived, and anyone who wants a laugh. With all the colorful scenery, there is a lesson learned on the journey and spoken quietly but definitively what it all means.
