An entertaining book. The characters are a group of aging hippies that have spent the years having never moved past the 60s. There are some colorful nuts and a few sad folks with regrets of how their lives were spent. There are some funny elements as a revolt is started almost by accident. The consequences play out on what would have been Jimi Hendrix's 80th birthday-and some of those consequences are very surprising in the end. The beginning and the end were better reading than some of the middle of the book, but overall entertaining. Some of the details of the world in 2022 were interesting and funny, too (gas is $14.00 a gallon and Daisy Barrymore (daughter of Drew) is governor of California).
