Hey, Joe!

About the Book

Ever since Joey was a small child, he has been haunted by a strange dream. The best approximation to the first part of Joey's dream can be found in Jimi Hendrix's fabulous song, Hey, Joe. Joey dreamed about taking some money in his hand and going downtown to buy a cold steel .44. The gun would be used to shoot his girlfriend. The dream told him his girlfriend had been messing around with another man. Joey decided to ignore his recurring dream so he set out on his own to seek his destiny. All he needed was his guitar, his Harley, and the hope of finding the perfect girl for him. That search ultimately led Joey to Maggie's Farm where he met the lovely Linda Lou. Unfortunately for Joey, his quest also brought him face to face with the vengeful Sheriff John Brown. For Joey's sake, we can only hope that love conquers all.
