1960s 60s art band first-person love music past psychedelia reflection

It's a little bit romantic, but this isn't a love story. It's a little bit funny, but this isn't a comedy. It's a little  bit sad, but it's not a tragedy, either.

"Do you remember me, how we used to be?"

Jude and Polly were meant to be. Their love grew and grew until they were almost inseparable, and, along with the band's success, it seemed like the beautiful early 1960s would last forever.

But all illusions must be shattered. As the years go by, Jude is drawn deeper and deeper into the mysterious and entrancing world of psychedelics. Tim, his childhood best friend and bandmate, is forced to watch as his friend's divine mind crumbles day by day, year by year...
