very funny story about a baby boomer who ends up driving his golf cart down the freeway in LA and ends up in a retirement village. The other residents end up overthrowing the administrator of the place and taking over. Power to the people!!!

I absolutely LOVED this book
Hilarious well written and lots of fun!
Here is the review from Amazon

Though Jimi doesn't make an appearance in this near-future satire, Sandlin (Skipped Parts; Sorrow Floats) has fun with his surviving fans. The year is 2022 (the year Jimi would've turned 80), and strait-laced retiree Guy Fontaine, at his daughter's behest, moves into the Mission Pescadero nursing home, where aged hippies, former radicals and random California nutjobs refuse to give up their sex, drugs and rock and roll. Guy is stricken with an acute case of culture shock, but gets over it with the help of a few friendly residents who aren't living in a perpetual summer of love. But just as Guy is getting into the scene, the residents take control of the facility to protest the lack of respect they receive from their families, doctors and the home's administrators. Though not all of the humor works across generations (chants of "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh. AARP is gonna win"), most does, and the action, thankfully, is far from bingo night and crafts hour. (Jan.)

Funny! Here's what us baby boomers could be facing in 20 years. We will prevail!

Maybe I would have liked this book better if I was 10 years older and a child of the 60's or if my own mother was not in an assisted living facility...The story is an examination of how you cannot exert authority unless the subjects are willing to accept it, and that's interesting. But the prison-like running of the facility seemed so far-fetched that I couldn't really get into the story.

hilarious

I almost considered not finishing it, because I wasn't really getting into it. There were a few parts I really enjoyed, when the characters reflected more on their life and how they got to where they are now, and some parts did make me laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. Overall, it seemed a little unbelievable. Maybe if I got more of the 60's references, I would have enjoyed it more.

I could not put this book down. It walks the line of nostalgia without crossing over into triteness and offers a touching view into the sadness, joy, frustration and humor that is growing older.

Unrealistic story about Baby Boomers in assisted living center. They are not that with it to enjoy sex, drugs, and rock and roll! Interesting idea but poorly written and silly.

Sandlin is tender

i love tim sandlin.. he's the best. this book is hilarious. its set in the future, about a bunch of seniors who grew up in the 60's and stage a take-over of their assisted living facility. i laughed my ass off.

A fun read. Aged and still aging hippies find themselves in an assisted living facility -- or are they warehoused for the convenience of their families?

This book was hilarious and believe it or not, we're all going to get old even if we don't think so.
