Description
"Sex, No Drugs & Rock'N'Roll (Memoirs of a Music Junkie)" is a 'balls-to-the-wall' coming of age narrative explicitly told through the eyes of a musical 'baby-boomer Holden Caulfield, ' simultaneously maturing with the country itself. From the 50's innocent invulnerability following WWII, to the teenage years of rebellion and political unrest in the 60's, to the disillusionment and cynicism of the late 70's, sowing the seeds for the 'me' generation to come. The dots connected in two universal languages... Music & Sex. Written in two parts, Part 1 (the 50's & 60's) and Part 2 (the 70's), the book is available as a Paperback, eBook, Audio Book and companion Soundtrack Album containing songs L.E. Kalikow wrote and performed during that time. Although the story is based on true life, certain names, personalities and events have been altered, both for artistic and legal reasons, and should therefore be considered a 'creative re-creation.'
