Description
Dystortions: Purple Haze will take you on a magical mystery trip to fly higher in the sky than the iconic Lucy of Beatles’ fame. Join the journey of former journalist Addy O'Malibul as she watches the meteoric rise of her favorite rock musician, Jon McGuiness, a member of a band called …The Scarubs. It’s a rock ‘n’ roll mystery in a parallel universe. The story is based on a planet named Malaprop, where radio waves from Earth have been twisted to shout across the universe and wreak helter skelter on an imaginary world far in our future.
Addy moves beyond her dilemma to a place warmer and more colorful than any shades of grey, but there's still a purple room of pain. Addy will learn she's more connected to Jon than through a television set. And Jon McGuiness is one cool dude. It's an experience you won't want to miss.
