1966. The Vietnam War is in full swing, and so are the protests. The law enforcement of America is bringing the war to their own country's soil, staining the ground in tears and blood of those who dare speak out against the war. Sebastian Voice is just another lowly music major at the University of Dayton. He's an anti-war "peacebringer" who has his mom, Saturday night friends and a room of broken saxophones for company. It just took having long hair and walking alone at night for Vietnam to personally affect him in the form of a police baton breaking teeth. Personally faced with the conflicts he had only heard about, Sebastian knew it was time for a change. The motley crew of Saturday night drinkers united into a band, The Alcoholic Kittens. Their goal is simple: Spread the love, and let no one feel alone. With help from Shag Wagon, marijuana and LSD, The Alcoholic Kittens travel across the torn United States, from Dayton to San Francisco. Misfortune and discrimination follow their travels, but when they pick up a hitchhiker named Robin Thorne, the perpetual monotony of depressing events is broken. She's a lanky Kansas redhead on her way to California, and the boys weren't expecting her quick wit and sharp tongue when they let her through the doors of the Shag Wagon. She keeps their hopes up, and is there for the lowest points of the Kittens' roadtrip. There's only one problem: She's only going as far as Santa Monica. + + + old story, no continuation expected cover by me
