Dave Parsons exquisitely captures the essence of what it was like for many to come of age in Austin, Texas, in the 1960s. He writes entertainingly about his antics, running buddies, neighbors, drinking, carousing, road trips, girlfriends, wives, fistfights, athletics, singing, adventures and misadventures, failures and successes, and, yes, tragedies. He weaves his original poems meaningfully with his story-telling prose. Importantly, his moments of serious reflection, as exemplified by the "Good Friday" section, are at once poignant and powerful - a perfect melding of prose and poetry. Dave's memoir doesn't stop with the 1960s. He continues to share his life with you as settles down (well, almost) into his later years. You should find the entirety of his memories fascinating, as I did." - Neal Spelce, award-winning journalist and prize-winning author who chronicled Austin's evolution for decades
