This book is a barely containable tie-dyed collision of good, dubious and amusing personal experiences and reminiscences, vividly presented in passionate opinions and vibrant pictures. Contributors span award-winning poets to the nation’s most talented musicians, politicians, sport broadcasters, academics, educators — and even some eloquent ne’er-do-wells.
