ISBN 9780977795024

The revised, 21st Century edition of the timeless classic of Rock and Roll, true love, and incredible adventure! This is the story of an aging Deadhead who goes to a concert in Eugene, Oregon, and gets caught up in an adventure involving a greedy IRS, a delusional CIA, and the Grateful Dead. The IRS wants his money, the CIA wants his bootleg tape, and the Dead want him to stop the evil Coffee Cartel from destroying the rainforest. Our hero tangles with unsavory characters in Brazil, gets the girl, and saves the world — a book that takes in some shows, plumbs the depths of outer and inner space, stays high, and rocks out.
