Liner Notes
The year is 1974, and Banyon Burke has only one thing on his mind: finding his left shoe, amidst the turmoil and confusion of parties, campus life, and a gang of zany roommates, whom it seems are willing to go along with just about any crazy scheme Burke can concoct. But what starts out as a light-hearted tale filled with incidences of sneaking into nightclubs, brawling with bar broads, and slipping patients into a hospital, soon turns serious when Banyon's good friend Tijuana Juan (T.J.) comes to terms with his alcoholism and wanders off into the forest, never to be seen or heard from again. Burke’s pseudo-girlfriend tries to pressure him into committing to something more than just friendship, and his best friend gets busted by the police.
In just a short amount of time, Burke's world is shattered, and unable to cope, he flees. The story picks up thirty years later when Burke, an established business man, is forced to return to the place where he spent his college days. He is both delighted with, and disgusted by how much has changed, but strangely enough, also how everything is very much the same as when he'd left it…
The tale climaxes when the group reunites on a campus rooftop for one last time--TJ is host to the last party of his life. Thus ensues "The Last Bus To Oblivion," a tragic satire not only about life in the 70's, but how we, as human beings relate to each other and our pasts; a tale not soon forgotten.
