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 eBook, Audio Book and Soundtrack Album also contain songs I wrote and performed during that time and can be sampled through the Album/Songs section here on this site.
You might notice that my name doesn’t appear anywhere in the text. Originally it was my intention to publish anonymously, preventing any preconceived notions about the main character. By the time I got to Part 2, I figured WTF, might as well maintain the façade. For the record, although the story is based on my life, certain names, personalities and events have been altered, both for artistic and legal reasons, and should therefore be considered a ‘creative re-creation.’
