Fear & Loathing in Boca Raton A Hippies Guide to the Second Sixties

Steven Lewis begins this funky, friendly riff on the cosmic-and not so cosmic-rhythms of a generation, unlike any other generation. Fear and Loathing of Boca Raton is a bit like the response to a Zen Koan, a mindful extended reflection on the seemingly paradoxical wants and needs of the Question Authority Generation: a guided, self-guided, non-manual manual that captures the spirit and imagination of a spirited and imaginative generation charting uncharted new territory. In this fresh and present journey into the second Sixties (way way way out beyond the unholy trinity of Viagra, statins, and early bird specials), the reader finds resonant and funny and unpredictable licks on everything from post-fifty sex, drugs, and rock and roll to vivid recollections of Vietnam and Woodstock to compellingly impolitic advice about staying hip and relevant into and through the counter-culture's collective dotage. It's been a long strange trip from the Summer of Love and, like it or not, the times they've been a changin'. With a little help from their friends and this good book the Age of Aquarius is still far out ahead of them.Lewis, Steven is the author of 'Fear & Loathing in Boca Raton A Hippies Guide to the Second Sixties', published 2007 under ISBN 9781884956744 and ISBN 1884956742.
