It's the day after Max and Ginny's wedding. Against the advice of people who love them, they head south, away from Wisconsin, in a rickety van. Armed with love and not much more, they search for a place where more than icicles grow in March - so they can live off the land. They've got a thousand bucks but no major credit card, and only sixty days before Max will be considered AWOL from the National Guard. On their journey, they tangle with a bodacious bombardier, a gelled judge, a grumpy Greek grandfather, a stubborn stick-shift, cantankerous cops, dumbfounding dialects, high-minded hitch-hikers, insistent insects...and each other. Don't Worry Baby is a love letter to the 76 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964...and a light-hearted history lesson to those who came afterward and can't believe such events could ever happen. They could.
