American Zen

When political journalist Mike Flannigan gets an email from his long-lost friend Jo Jo asking to get the guys together, he goes mainly to get away from it all. "The guys" are Mike's other band mates from 1978, when their hard rock group, The Immortals, abruptly broke up when their front man Dave got himself signed. Now, three decades later, Mike is virtually the only political journalist not writing about the incoming Obama administration as he reluctantly goes on the road as per his friend's wishes. But their reluctant road trip becomes much more than Mike bargains for when the men learn why and how their band really split up and learn what's happened to them over the last 30 years. They also also get an indelible lesson of the value of life, love and friendship.
