    Kerouac’s poetry is solid on paper, but imo he is the #1 best spoken word poet I’ve ever heard. Really makes it come alive, pure genius

      I am reading the Dharma Bums right now. The prose was....odd but when I heard him speak some lines of On the Road Again, I got it.
      Never knew much or cared about the Beat gen or Beatniks; I was born in the 70's but it is pretty interesting. The US was in its primacy, an ascending arc of power so great even now we can look back and still see the high watermark of that tide.

    Get the feeling that the free association of the era is gone forever in this calculating, contrived, brand-bent approach to art and the art of living. Cherish the 1950's and 60's.

    • @davidpaul5465

      Sadly so, the brand-bent approach is the product of those trying to sell their schtick. Alternatively, the insular minds that take it seriously are blind to the life energy, irony and contradictions requiring examination have gone missing. Ah yes, cherish by the living.

      Do not cherish something as vast as a year. Those decades meant those adjectives just as much as the now more terrifying years of the Two-Thousand Twenties do. And yet, they also meant liberty and art and beauty and tenderness and truth. Kerouac was a contradiction to American society as much then as he is now, it's simply that he is no longer clouded in the mystique of newness which always drives the youth mad into action as much as matted white sneakers do today. That's perhaps regrettable, but maybe popularity was always shallow, and the actual depth of the art which is ever-lasting is what's important. Kerouac cherished the '60s enough to spend it fervently trying to leave it.

    Neal was the 1st bisexual hero figure in American lore. Kerouac celebrated his life and visions and peripatesiacal wanderings and wonderings. I think this should be titled "Neal and Jack and Allen" as Ginsberg was the poet who enshrined freedom to love and live as one wishes, who loved Neal and who turned on Bob Dylan and John Lennon to acid and early raptures. Allen and I corresponded for a few years. He told me to write in "vivid particulars" and to make fun of the ratrace that had become modernity with humour not w/ hate. love to you and all who remember those great times. love, joseph roehl

    • @jazzmanchgo
      @jazzmanchgo 5 років тому +4

      Remember, though, Neal's bisexuality was pretty much a well-kept secret during his lifetime. Kerouac alludes to it subtly here and there (mentioning that Dean Moriarty used to be a "hustler"), but no one really talked about it publicly. And that "code of silence" pretty much held, even into the 1970s and later. I once heard Ginsburg say that when he submitted a story to Ken Kesey for Kesey to publish in his journal "Spit In the Ocean" (ca. 1977 or so) about the first time Ginsburg and Neal made love, Kesey refused to publish it.

    • @josephsanangelo
      @josephsanangelo 5 років тому +5

      @@jazzmanchgo Hi David. Well I don't know about Kesey, but Ginsberg's famous poem "Howl" was 1st performed in 1955 in San Francisco with all of its references to homosexual acts and openly hints at Neal's bisexuality and of course Kerouac wrote of visiting Ginsberg while Allen was still at Columbia Uni. and finding the two in a single bed together naked. Show me please the 'code of silence'. I knew of Neal and Allen by the time I read the poem in the 1960s as it was not hard for scholars to work it out. Thanks for your comments.

    I have been listening to the "scroll" version of "On the road" on audiobook and I find it fascinating in fact somehow or another it has helped me to loosen up and allow my life to be fun or more fun than it already has been.
    I really was relieved when I heard Neal speak about God and the existence of God and Jack was grumbling about his woes and Neal said and I will paraphrase thats where God is in the midst of those problems and the trick is not to get hung up, I just loved that and hope to remember that for the rest of my days.

      Thanks for sharing that one. God is in the midst of those problems....the trick is not to get hung up. It reminds me of the punch line in JD Salinger's novel Franny and Zooey. 'Seymour said we are doing it for the fat lady. Everybody has got their fat lady, mine is sitting on a porch with varicose veins and .....' or words to that effect. Both beautiful expressions of a universally understood truth. It's just not something that most people are able to communicate. Stuck as we are in the midst of our problems.

Who to race, do they lose the car and how to deal with that. Very zen. Just like Kerouac and On the Road, constant moving brings constant change. The movie did have lots of awesome car stuff. Vanishing Point is the best of those movies, of course.

Wild Bill Hickock being one who imbibed there as portrayed by Jeff Bridges in the movie" Wild Bill ."

    "And along come 15 deputies, one was a woman, she don't count.." You can take Neal Cassady out of the 1950's, but you can't take the 1950's out of Neal Cassady. Little did he know that female deputy was part of the change he was stuck in.

      Big Sur for me all the way....Reading it now for the 2nd time and I just love this little novella... Jack is so wonderfully descriptive of his time at the cabin - HIS creek, blue jays, mouse. HIS trees and wind and fog and ol' Alf the sacred burro. And THAT bridge, how it terrified him, and the sea and what it said to him, with all it's gurgling fury... To me it's a brilliantly sad account of his sufferings - from hell to heaven and back again seen through the eyes of hopeless and endless Delirium Tremens....
