Book Description

The Best Half of Life October 1, 2007
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 still charting uncharted 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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

"With apologies to the late great Lord Buckley and his classic Beatnik paean to Julius Caesar: `Hipsters, flipsters and finger poppin' daddies, knock me your lobes ...,' I have come to celebrate the Sixties, not to bury us."

1.0 out of 5 stars Is there some reason for the typo in the title?, January 8, 2012
By 
Leadfoot (The Great Northwest) - See all my reviews
I looked at the first page of this book, and it's not bad. But I don't understand how the author, his editor and his publishing house let the word "hippies" get on the cover of the book misspelled. That's the problem with self-publishing. You've got to hire an editor if you don't understand the rules of grammar and punctuation. Your target audience is an intelligent lot. Show some respect for your audience and for yourself.

Fix it... "A Hippie's Guide to the Second Sixties"
