Publisher Description
Flashback to the 1960s and 1970s and faster than you can say "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," accompany Glen Keough as he is drilled by Dominican nuns, enlightened by a hippie father, and loved by a grandmother who easily forgave his sins.
In this coming-of-age memoir, Keough reminisces on a youth spent in Southern California with a band of boys who, when freed from the constraints of Catholicism, partook in the forbidden fruits of the era. A time to trade marbles for marijuana and Johnny Western for Led Zeppelin. Such transactions come with a price as his best friend went on an acid trip he never returned from mentally. The author broods on a lost of innocence and how a gracious God could take away a sister so young with cancer.
The Bogus Buzz shares a sensitive maturation process similar to the 1986 movie Stand By Me. It reflects on the coping mechanisms constructed to weather divorce, insecurity, and the come hither look of the fish-netted blonde two desks down.
Customer Reviews
Bogus Buzz
This book took me back to my high school years! Loved hearing things I never knew. I was right to tears several times. I would recommend this book to anyone from the class of 74 though 77. Most of us can relate to the events. Can't wait for the next book.
