Scott Paulsen is originally from Chester, West Virgina and was formerly a dishwasher at Waterford Inn just like one of the main characters Jay Mastro. This book is both funny and touching at the same time, but I do wonder how much of it is actually fiction and how much is based on the author’s real life. The old town folk spend their summer worrying about their small town being invade by….you guessed it…dirty hippies, while the younger residents look forward to seeing their favorite bands when they come to town. The problems arise when they schedule a large rock music festival with four bands that summer. He’s also the author of a daily column about LPs which you can find by checking him out on Facebook.ĭirty Hippies is a fictional story set in Chester, West Virginia in 1974 and is built around the premise that a large entertainment company that owns the local horse track has built an amphitheater in their little town. Author Scott Paulsen has spent most of his working life as a radio personality in the Pittsburgh, PA area, but he’s also written several books which I can’t seem to find online. Dirty Hippies by Scott Paulsen was recommended to me by a friend and former colleague of the author Dennis Benson.
