Theodore Is Open: A Grand Illusion

By Ted Dodson

The life adventures of "Toad" and "Crawdaddy" from 1962 until 2018. Their unique experiences start with the insanity of growing up during the 1960's and continues well into their senior years. They might be crazy, but they both have always lived life to the fullest. The book serves many masters. Besides providing many laughs and a sympathetic sob or two, it also gives a historical perspective to the 55 years of time that is documented by the irrepressible characters who actually lived through it. Highlights include encounters with Jim Morrison, Eric Burton, Andy Warhol, Robert Lockwood Jr., B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Wolfman Jack, R. A. Moog, Mike Ditka, Ebby Halliday, and Stanley Marcus just to name a few. Read about how the Beatles' music seemed to contain secret messages. Witness the absurdity of a pack rat who stole food, money and jewelry from the boys and almost ended their friendship. Want to know what it was like to be a hippie? Experience San Francisco in 1969. Eyewitness accounts of the Atlanta International Pop Festival and the Ozark Music Festival. Sell flowers on the street corner with Crawdaddy. 461 pages illustrated. It's the dash between the dates. Long may their story be told.
