About this item

by Al Krockey (Author)

In 1968, Al Krockey was eighteen years old-coming of age in the most culturally explosive era in American history.

But the road to that moment began years earlier in Skokie, Illinois, where a block of co-op apartments and split-level houses felt like an entire universe.

From hustling a buck-hawking souvenirs outside Wrigley Field, working odd jobs, and dealing a little weed-to chasing the music that defined a generation, Krockey lived fast and wide open.

Nights at Chicago's legendary Kinetic Playground, cross-country trips to wild pop festivals, and encounters with unforgettable characters turned 1968 into a year of freedom, risk, and discovery.
