From Jimi Hendrix to the Dalai Lama by Sid Schwartz

This is a story of a journey through times past. The mafia, Jimi Hendrix, and the Dalai Lama all play a part in this story. The journey starts in Chicago and transitions to the newly baptized Route 66 on a cross-country trip that will change them forever. Two Brooklyn boys step out of their traditional lives and explore the world. It takes them to far away places like Morocco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, and more. They meet with remarkable people on this journey, seeking a greater understanding that they cannot find in their own country. It is a time of upheaval in America and the hippie generation is starting to gain momentum.
