So what would happen if an oversexed, over-drugged, female folk singer got carte blanche to spearhead a musical children's show in the 70s? That's exactly the question explored in the multi-perspective flashback narrative of the social and musical experiment of Pop Goes the Classroom.

With no single protagonist, I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW provides a unique look at the way people viewed their music, relationships and their professional aspirations in a specific era. A certain naiveté permeates the work despite the emphasis on sex, drugs and -- of course -- rock and roll. Although set primarily in 1972, the work is universally relevant, as aspiring musicians, aging musicians and anyone with a dream of being allowed to turn one's avocation into a vocation can relate to the trials and passions of the characters. Anyone who has ever had a childhood television show song stuck in his or her head, particularly ones about parts of speech or governmental procedures, can fantasize that perhaps this book got it right. A fun, heartfelt read, I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW is a lovely and enjoyable work.
