Hidden in the annals of European history is the crucial Thirty Years' War between the Catholics and Protestants in Germany during the 1600s. It was a warfare that devastated the entire regions, drastically reduced the population and developed widespread hostilities involving much of Europe-a tremendous occurrence seldom told and taught. For author Alton J. Myers, an event as significant as that war shall always be remembered for it has made a great impact in history. In his book, Calico Dance: Escape to Sweden, he has woven a fictional account about a family in the midst of a war-torn country as they struggle to survive and escape the bloodbath to remind readers of the effects and horrors of a prolonged war.

Stephen Hawking and his fellow physicists may not have yet figured out the formula for traveling through the time-space continuum, but apparently the Metropolitan Room discovered the secret. Last Friday night (October 26), I walked through the curtain into the main performance space and entered a time tunnel that took me from the 21st century into the 1960s and '70s.

In the process they transported this particular Baby Boomer joyously back to his youth and to the days of cultural upheaval, generation gaps, peace, love, war, and some of the best pop/rock music ever written.
