Hot on the heels of the hilarious and critically acclaimed East 14th and The Kipling Hotel, Don Reed returns with the next installment of his wonderfully wild and awkward autobiographical journey. Can You Dig It? The 60’s Back Down East 14th, rewinds to the 60’s – a prequel-plus – going back to young Don’s formative “Stand By Me” years in Oakland grammar school when the family was “whole.” Before his father became a pimp – before his mother reluctantly became a Jehovah’s Witness - a lot of wonderful, scary, amazing, unnecessary, cool, moving, unbelievably true stories unfolded. From the Beatles to the Black Panthers, James Brown to the Jerk, MLK to JFK to the KKK – come and see the 60’s through the blinking eyes of an awkward kid who’s just trying to fit in.
