I'll post this to reviews,too eventually...
but Tim Sandlin came out with a novel,"Jimi hHendrix Turns Eighty" set in 2022,when Jimi Hendrix *would* be 80 were he alive and there is a cantankerous group of old Bay Area hippies held more or less against their will at a retirement home in Half Moon Bay. they get pissed, work together, take a couple of hostages from the staff, and re-christen the place Pepper Land. the governor of California eventually intervenes on their behalf. it's well written and though he's from Wyoming, I'm pleased Sandlin did his homework about the Bay Area.
warning...the adult children of these old hippies don't come off so great on the whole...so don't get defensive,it'sa comic novel.enjoy the laughs and there's also a cautionary note built in.
enjoy!
