About this ebook
Pumping gas in a small Colorado town in the summer of 1964 is hot, grimy work -- especially if you want to be a rock 'n roll star, like Bobby Masters and the members of his struggling band. When fate lets them chase that dream of screaming girls, spotlights and maybe even a guest spot on "American Bandstand," they don't hesitate, even though it means pretending to be "The Romeos" -- an already successful band with a hit record on the radio. After all, who will find them out as they roam from Wyoming cowboy bars and battle-of-the-bands contests to playing a beach party at a tiny Nebraska college? And if they build a scandalous reputation for playing a raunchier song than "Louie Louie," so much the better. Until the guys run headfirst into a curvy sorority girl who just won a darkest-tan contest at Daytona Beach. A liberated woman before her time, Susie turns the boys' 1960s notions of romance inside out. "The Romeo Boys" is a coming-of-age story in that jarring time when rock 'n roll was innocent, but the nation was not.
