Quote from Eva Pasco - Author
Like any good driver who takes you for a ride, Mike Marino knows how to hold the reader's interest by fast pacing and a built-in sexiness from start to finish on this road trip. I give you a man's adulation for his Tin Lizzy: "Lizzie lets her gown flow dreamlike from her shoulders and exposes her treasures for discovery. Her door opens wide and he goes inside, gentle and timid at first, and then grabs her crank and turns her over...she sputters and moans, then smiles and sighs, and her engine burns and roars to life."

Fifties & Sixties Pop Culture! Classic Cars, Rock n' Roll, Elvis, Drivein Movies
Route 66, Roadside Culture Kerouac & The Beats
Haight Ashbury, Easy Rider & Vietnam

"Automotively sexy & wickedly wonderful!"

PURPLE HAZED & DOUBLE DAZED!

The Roadhead Chronicles has been described as automotively sexy and goes from the Cold War Fifties Pop Culture of classic cars and rock n' roll to the spaced out Spare Change Sixties of Vietnam and Hells Angels. Not the usual look at the era, instead It's written by someone who lived it and spent a life of being on the road from his beach bum days in Honolulu to the glitz and dangers of the Sunset Strip in LA, and his purple hazed and double dazed days in North Beach and the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. The Roadhead Chronicles also looks at the history of Route 66, Roadside Neon Culture and old diners and dives!

MIKE MARINO TRAVEL HUB RADIO INTERVIEW

MIKE MARINO MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

Michigan author, freelance writer, journalist, broadcaster, indie filmaker and purple hazed & double dazed pop culture dumpster diver. I am the author of THE ROADHEAD CHRONICLES - Where Pop Culture & Chrome Meet Asphalt & Art and two collections of writings called The Atomic Hula & The Peyote Coyote. I also a member of the literary community called 20-Dissidents and am featured in The Neo Beat Anthology Collection and Literary Journal. I don't vote for Democrats or Republicans and consider myself politically a Tom Joadist. I also write for publications on subjects advocating the legalization of marijuana.

Raised in the Fities, grew up fast in the Sixties, I left home at 15, lived on the beach in Hawaii and on the streets in LA and San Franciso for five years homeless with junkies, trannies, hookers, bikers, drunks, dharmabums, haiku hobo's, psychedelics and dopers, and staying alive by any means neccessary. I'll try anything once, and have, twice or more if I like it or have at least a passing interest.

Today, I am a columnist, writer, broadcaster, author, and contributing writer for a variety of publications including classic car mags, pop culture mags, Route 66 publications and history & travel magazines in North America, Europe and Asia, and available for freelance writing jobs. Too many to list here but gives you an idea.

Originally born and bred blue collar plaid and proud in the Motor City I've also lived in Hawaii, California, Colorado, Maine and now New Mexico where you don't have to search for the peyote, the peyote will find you amigo's and amiga's.

ROADHEAD CHRONICLES BOOK REVIEW

HE'S LIKE FREDERICK LEWIS ALLEN ON ACID! His chapters bounce all over the place and that is part of the book's charm. It is as if he is saying that you don't have to have your history chronological, that the events themselves are history in themselves, and yet he loosely strings each chapter around a theme. He sets up the 50s with a look at what led up to them, then it's through the looking glass. From the James Dean cool to the sci-fi kitsch, he lays out the changing world of youth and hints at the probable horror felt by the parents of the time. From muscle cars to the (North) beach scene to the advent of drive-ins (both movie and fast food), he shows us what many of us missed as it happened before our eyes.

The great thing is that he portrays them as seen through his eyes, for he has a vision of the recent past as seen while it happened. This is not a guy who looks back on his past. This is a guy who writes about his past as it happened. And the great thing is that his past is ours. As for the historical subjects? They were the true histories and not those spoonfed by educators strapped to corporation-accepted textbooks. The real history of the carhop, the fear created by the nuclear age, the very real effect of teen idol worship, the eccentric people and their odd worlds which touched us for a headline and maybe two.

The stories are short and sweet, sometimes just a passing comment, but stated in such a way that we feel that, trivial though they may seem, they were after all important enough to be included and, dammit, who are these people to tell us what's important, anyway?

I laughed through a large part of this and found myself heading to the computer to type in certain things in the old search engine, it was that interesting, but maybe I'm an old fuddyduddy. I mean, I read Frederick Lewis Allen in my youth and, in fact, still have three of his fine books on my shelves. Occasionally, I pick them up and leaf through them because damned if it isn't just plain interesting stuff.

Marino's book will make it there soon, but I've placed it for the moment on the coffeetable. It's so much easier to roll over on the couch and reach out than to get up and walk to the bookshelves every time I want a quick Roadhead fix. I'm not getting any younger, you know.
Frank Gutch: Book & Music Reviewer

Who I'd like to meet:

Pop culture dumpster divers of all stripes and gripes, writers, artists, Semi Fabulous Fans of the Fifties and the Spare Change Sixties, anyone who lived in the Haight or North Beach, film makers, drinkers of fine Canadian beers, dramatists, musicians, poets & social activists, people from the Midwest who say things like "eh?, those concerned with homeless issues, green and sustainable lifestyle advocates, dharmabums, roadheads, haiku hobos, desolation angels, panhandlers, pirates, bohemians, muralists, grafitti artists, Route 66er's, Buckminster Fuller and Diego Rivera afficianado's, John Sinclair, Ashley Brilliant, literati and illiterati, peyotistas, people who make art out of recycled products such as hubcaps and other assorted sordid trash from the roadside

This is the epitome of a boomer roadie book for the boomer roadie. It's funny, it's nostalgic, it's interesting. Route 66, fins, fuzzy dice, carhops. It's all there. This would be a great gift for the roadhead in your life.
