Summary

Deep in a wood in the Marches of Wales, in an ancient school bus there lives an old man called Bob Rowberry. 'A Hero For High Times' is the story of how he ended up in this broken-down bus. It's also the story of his times, and the ideas that shaped him. It's a story of why you know your birth sign, why you have friends called Willow, why sex and drugs and rock'n'roll once mattered more than money, why dance music stopped the New Age Travellers from travelling, and why you need to think twice before taking the brown acid
