Shivers up and down my spine
It's a feeling so divine
Let me go back for a while
Got to go back for a while
To that magic time...
Van Morrison
Peter Federson landed in "that magic time" like a piano! He had prayed...prayed...to go back so that he could: marry the right girl and breakup with his wife-to-be, keep the plug in-the-jug, stay in school, and fight the gremlins pounding his brain so that he didn't start the slide forward to that soul-destroying, trailer park.
But a wild street party with beer sloshing in the gutters and pot smoke floating over the mob, a riot that engulfs the university, a sadistic algebra instructor, and Peter's own penchant for self-destruction, threatens to make the whole experience a repeat of itself.
Peter is again attending classes at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in the spring of 1971, with the Saluki dog as its mascot, and maroon and white as its colors.
But maroon is not just a color for Peter Federson, because he is trapped in 1971...a Saluki Marooned.
