When their teenage daughter calls from the first-aid tent at a rock concert, Lesette comes face-to-face with rock icon, Shane Stewart, singer for the Disgracefuls, a band that was the soundtrack of her youth. He has a wardrobe crisis. She has a sewing kit. The intimacy of the moment evokes a yearning Shane cannot quite name, but personifies in Lisette, a full-grown woman, polar opposite of the models and groupies who spend the night and disappear. Shane is approaching a major milestone of his own and struggles to reconcile being "a man in full" when his work has always been to play and his lore leans toward juvenile delinquency.
A merry band of memorable characters each play a hand in supporting the budding romance as they themselves experience self-discovery, accept change, revisit bad habits, redeem themselves, and dare to love. Baby Boomers striving for meaningful "last chapters" will recognize the tensions this story explores: How can we remain relevant while growing older in the youth-oriented culture we once commanded? How do we accept change, live with authenticity, leave a legacy? What do we hold on to? What do we leave behind? How do we let go? Is it still appropriate to experience rapture at a rock concert? (Answer to the last question: absolutely.)
Long Live Rock is a shot in the arm of romance, friendship, deception, adventure, music, and hope for a live that arrives unexpectedly later in life, conflicting, confusing - and dazzling.
