The two share a passion for music, which, unsurprisingly, isn't supported by Cole's emotionally distant father, Steve. Cole's path to becoming a professional guitar player is further hampered when he loses part of one finger in an accident. Of course, he overcomes that obstacle, and friction with an increasingly unsympathetic Steve eventually prompts him to move away from home for good. Alex, who's part of the same band, assists in this move. The ups and downs of Cole's love life and career follow familiar patterns, and the major events in U.S. history between 1965 and Donald Trump's election in 2016 serve as background noise rather than actually affecting Cole, Alex, and the other characters. 541 $d 20190930. 650 1 $a Counterculture $v Fiction. 650 $a Idealism $x Social aspects $v Fiction. 650 $a Rock musicians $v Fiction. 650 $a Rock music $v Fiction. 650 $a Dylan, Bob, 1941- $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20191016015149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EF1C04CEFDA11E9A39D226097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
