Mexico in the Rearview Mirror: A Psychedelic Travelogue

By Michael Tassone

Escaping their lives in California, Clark and his best friend Rudy load up a temperamental V.W. bus and-with a year's supply of LSD-head south of the border for a carefree adventure. Ride along with them from Tijuana to Canc n as they make friends and enemies, explore Mesoamerican ruins, and drink far too much tequila. Join them as they confront cops and destitution, hunger and heartbreak, getting by on their wits and the kindness of strangers. Wince as you witness those demons from which they flee ultimately catching up to them.

"We're in the Combi and moving once again, beyond el Centro, beyond the neon and taxis and two-fer-one, three-fer-one, four-fer-a-dollar daiquiris, margaritas, cervezas, all-you-can-chew best-deal-in-town today only half-price ladies' night Happy Hour chantings until we're lost in the narrow dark dusty streets on the wrong side of the tracks, lost and worrying. And then we hear the music and follow it to its source. You're never lost if you can find the music.
