This is more than a great trip down memory lane, it’s a multi-decade road map of the evolution and nexus of music, youth, counter culture, and boomers coming of age. J.D. Salinger’s Holden Caulfield must be cheering the author on. Lenny Kalikow didn’t have to imagine it–he lived it and shares-n-bares his victories, defeats, anxieties, and libido in a thoroughly entertaining eye-witness account–part diary, confessional, travelogue, and testament to a ribald era that never gets old
– DH – Amazon Customer Review
“Kalikow’s story speaks to everyone. His witty, irreverent, insightful, touching, and often raunchy (the first word of the title is SEX) narrative made me laugh and cry and feel along with him… an insider’s view of the music industry and takes us along on the roller coaster ride that was his career, performing in venues big and small, and working with people both famous and less so. A major perk is that the reader can personally experience his music, as he had the wonderfully innovative idea to imbed many of his songs in the text of the ebook!” (read full review)

“Kalikow is a wonderful story teller. Rarely does a writer make me feel so involved in the action. And there’s plenty of it. I sensed his joy, I felt his pain and I shared his frustration. All that intensity … and no drugs!”
