Chicago Rage by Ronald Schulz
Free Love, Drugs, and Riots
And it is all true. A time in US history. A time of turmoil. And a time of unrest. A five-part memoir as seen through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Ron trying to earn enough money to continue his exploration of the emerging Counterculture, after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
From the exploration of the underground culture of Chicago to the streets of New York, this recollection of the riots and first interracial romance tells of the trials we all face, even today. And then Karen entered his life – a young run-a-way with wild thoughts of tearing down Pig City.
From freedom to jail, Ron must re-evaluate his life’s direction and look at the world in a wider scope.
Take an amazing journey through the clear memory of a man from another generation as he struggled to find his position in life–as most of the world is doing today.

Author Bio:
RONALD SCHULZ was born in 1952 in Chicago and ran away to New Orleans at 15 in 1967. Betrayed by a priest, he had to endure another year of high school before he dropped out to explore the Sixties radical counterculture from the inner cities of Chicago and New York to the rural communes of the Western Mountains. He was arrested in the SDS “Siege of Chicago” in 1969 with the Weathermen, jailed, and landed in a mental hospital where he reunited with his cellmate, found new friends and lovers, and reveled with them by smuggling in booze and a higher grade of marijuana. After more rabble-rousing in Chicago, he joined a rural commune in Wisconsin, which remained his home base for several years as he continued his exploits, hitchhiking across Europe, North Africa, and Asia on a roundabout Buddhist pilgrimage to Nepal. Now a semi-retired hobo with faith in human potential, and a new author writing his honest history of those tumultuous times, he hopes to honor the memory of departed friends and lovers before he too vanishes from this planet. He has taken advanced writing classes at the University of Washington and Hugo House. Ronald is a father of two, and grandfather of three, who believes in living life to the fullest, regardless of circumstances.
