Eric Olson is your typical American teen. An only child to two wonderful parents, a modest home in a sprawling central Florida community, and a knack for wreaking havoc on a regular basis. Growing up in the eighties, he and his pals coast from adolescence thru high school, then on to young adulthood where they break into their city's violent and unpredictable underground music scene. The characters they encounter and the situations they find themselves in are not only shocking and hilarious, but very much a reflection of American culture. Life And Times chronicles their efforts as they make an admirable attempt to live life on their own terms, regardless of what history, society, and the law dictates. Are they successful in their plight? Somewhat. That is, until the law finally catches up to them and they're faced with the harsh reality of their surroundings.
