A memoir by monk bass player, Eddie Shaw, it is the other story about Hamburg and Germany in the 1960s. 
Shaw claims that the British Invasion and groups like the Beatles were the result of long hours in the beat clubs of Germany and Hamburg. 
The monks played in the same club as the Beatles had played before them - The Top Ten Club in Hamburg. The "Beat" culture was strong. 
According to Alan Dein of BBC, the Hamburg scene started with groups like the Beatles and "ended with their reaction, the monks." They knew the same people, but that is where their shared experiences ended.

One of the most unlikely river explorers to ever come to America. A man who did not fit the image of his famous contemporaries, Lewis and Clark. He was rediculed for his foppish fashion, his red umbrella and wild ideas. He went in search for the source of the Mississippi River and survived after being lost in the northern wilderness - a dramatized account of a fascinating and controversial story. A dangerous journey - a spiritual discovery.
