This book was a trip down memory lane for me as I graduated from high school in 1969. I think it perfectly captured the country's mood in the late 1960s. Edwin Gilbert effectively uses slang and the folk/rock music scene to tell a story about a time when concerns about black rights, the Vietnam War, and, subsequently, the draft were significant. Jamey, a talented singer/songwriter, struggled with the life choices that all young adults face. He was drawn to protest against the establishment, the war, and racism, but his musical career became more of a hindrance than a blessing. The protests on university campuses described in the book are eerily similar to the ones I see on the news today related to the Israel-Hamas war. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. ( ) no reviews | add a review
