Tattoo Charlie is part road story, part antiwar story, part coming of age story, the story of a generation caught on the fence between the 1960s and the 1970s. From Burlington VT to Big Sur in California, from Berkeley to Boston by way of Fort Sam in San Antonio and the big antiwar marches on Washington in 1969 and 1970, Tattoo Charlie paints a detailed portrait of times and places that are immortalized in popular music but fast fading from our cultural memory. They always say about the Sixties that if you can remember, you probably weren't there, but this story is from someone who was there and does remember.
