Keep Yer Dobber Up!: A Life in The Rock and Roll Gutter

By d'Philip Chalmers

This semi-autobiographical coming of age story, told from a bipolar perspective, against the backdrop of the late 1970's middle American Dream, is a graphic look at the events that shaped one teen-ager into the person he is today. First, after tasting fortune and fame in a successful local garage band, and then surviving the loss of his best friend at 17, the boy goes on a cross country journey to find the legendary Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters; he ends up finding himself alone as an adult after the death of John Lennon. A semi-erotic tale that features all the madness of growing up with an emotional disorder, "Keep Yer Dobber Up " is certainly a "Life in The Rock and Roll Gutter".
