Description: "Visit San Francisco in the Sixties in San Fran '60s, a collection of autobiographical short stories. There's sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll of course, but also murder, madness and God. Janis Joplin and William Burroughs make appearances. LSD and free love, Haight-Ashbury and the Hell's Angels, the Hip and the Straight, it's all in these stories set in the epicenter of the biggest cultural transformation of the second half of the Twentieth Century"--Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.
Notes: "There are almost certainly minor historical inaccuracies here. I made some efforts to correct a few but my purpose, before all else, is to tell a good story. Though there is less than 10% invention, less than many memoirs, I still consider this fiction" -- Author's note.
