About me:
I am no one in particular. Just a generic middle-class white boy, born in the bowels of the Midwest and raised in a bland East Coast suburb of utter unremarkability. I'm a misanthrope who hungers for human connections. I don't like people all that much, but I desperately need their validation to compensate for the fact that I have no intrinsic sense of self-worth. I find the world to be a largely uninhabitable place, but I am forced by an accident of birth to live in it. However, I try to see the humor in my existential predicament.
Welcome Aboard and hope you enjoy the rock and roll ride and read in The Roadhead Blog...
Fifties & Sixties Pop Culture! Classic Cars, Rock n' Roll, Elvis, Route 66, Drive in Movies, Route 66, Roadside Culture, Kerouac & The Beats, Haight Ashbury, Easy Rider & Vietnam
Pop Culture guru Mike Marino looks at the '60s and beyond through his own kaleidoscope, where rock met revolution. Spewing quips like a psychedelic lawn mower run amok, he drags us, more than likely kicking and screaming, through a past few of us knew and even fewer would admit. This is Truth barred from the history books--- or as Marino would put it, the Red, White and Screwed. Could cause nausea, night sweats and loss of appetite. Void where prohibited. Frank Gutch, Jr.
Available in US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Netherlands & Japan

My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
