The Rock & Roll Stories is a coming of age memoir that follows the author from school dances and cruising hamburger stands, to Vietnam. Along the way, Yeager struggles with relationships and his own courage in the face of adolescent aggression. His passion for rock & roll music, born in the fifties when he first heard Elvis on the radio, is a sustaining thread throughout. As Dylan sang, the times were changing and as the turbulent sixties were ramping up and the Vietnam war escalating, Yeager drops out of college and takes off for California with a friend pursuing an unrealistic dream of becoming a rock & roll singer. Returning home, the dream shattered, drinking and petty theft lands him in jail and narrows his options. Yeager enters the Army, endures basic training and Army Intelligence school, hoping to go to Germany, but winds up on a troop ship headed for Vietnam. While he’s away, the country dramatically changes and can never return to the way it was, and neither can Yeager.
