Now in paperback -- from surf music to hot-rod records to the sunny
pop of the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, the Byrds, and the Mama's
& the Papa's, Hollywood Eden captures the fresh blossom of a
young generation who came together in the epic spring of the 1960s
to invent the myth of the California Paradise. Central to the story
is a group of sun-kissed teens from the University High School
class of 1958 -- a class that included Jan & Dean, Nancy
Sinatra, and future members of the Beach Boys -- who came of age in
Los Angeles at the dawn of a new golden era when anything seemed
possible. These were the people who invented the idea of modern
California for the rest of the world. But their own private
struggles belied the paradise portrayed in their music. What began
as a light-hearted frolic under sunny skies ended up crashing down
to earth just a few short but action-packed years later as, one by
one, each met their destinies head-on. A rock 'n' roll opera loaded
with violence, deceit, intrigue, low comedy, and high drama,
Hollywood Eden tells the story of a group of young artists and
musicians who bumped heads, crashed cars, and ultimately flew too
close to the sun.
