Three longish short stories, character studies set in Southern California in the late 1960s/early 1970s, men at work telling each other stories from their lives – funny, poignant, dark secrets – lives that are about to change. As the title suggests, all tales are based on true stories, fictionalize accounts of actual events, and that includes the stories the men tell one another – men shooting the breeze as they play poker, strikers holding a picket line; a young man getting a hair cut as he listens to his old barber, who worked in Hollywood during the Golden Age of cinema; the young rockers of Hothouse Flowers playing at the nightclub, the Cheetah, West. And be sure to check out the “soundtrack” of music URLs accompanying “Cheetah, West.” (PG-rated: Adult Situations; Language.)

Picket’s Charge – Three Vietnam vets, now butchers working at an Alpha Beta supermarket as the Vietnam war ends, man the graveyard shift picket line. What happens in the dead of night surprises everyone.
The Last Hair Cut of Tom Mix – Sit back in George’s barber chair as he talks about “the old days,” including unusual stories from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Cheetah, West – Ever wondered what it would be like to be a young rock ’n roll performer in Los Angeles in the late 1960s? Come along with Hothouse Flowers to a gig playing at the Santa Monica nightclub Cheetah, West, on a night that brings a host of surprises. (“Build-a-Kit Soundtrack” included.)
