...Born in Australia, Lee cut his teeth covering "the everyday humble-bumble of police courts," worked briefly for an encyclopedia but never got much beyond "Fleas, Performing." He believes that writers of fiction and poetry often give a truer picture of this world than sociologists, historians, scientists and politicians.

Billy and Wyatt travel through these pulsating songs the way they do the countryside-the Band, the Byrds, Dylan, Jimi Hendrix et al are employed as a musical landscape, part of the backdrop of the youth subculture, but hardly integral...
