Boy! Everything you ever wanted to know about R&R; memorabilia! And it spans generations and decades. But that is only secondary to the characters and the story. Tsaika, Glycerin, Kpau, and their sexy male mentor Blar come alive on these pages. It will have you wanting to go see them perform, but more than that you want to reach out and heal "The Lost Girls". How so much comedic fun can be blended with such devastating origins is a literary beauty to behold!"Papa Bear"/Blar has probably bitten off more than he can chew with the goth pixie bassist, the emotionally damaged amazon guitarist, and the blonde firecracker drummer. Poor Blar wants to keep peace between these explosive young female musicians, but is caught up in a sexual revolution where he doesn't know who to touch and who to keep at arm's length. Papa Bear must be taking a lot of cold showers! Can't wait for the sequel to see how poor Blar fairs with his earthy group of band members!A fun, "zany" (BH Branham's so perfect word) read that jumps off the pages with descriptions of costuming, make-up, and stage performances that leap into your mind and create what I call "word paintings"--but that is such a mild phrase for the visuals BH Branham brings to life in this delicious, energetic novel that leaves you wanting more ... more ... more!
