    If you read those early beat poets you can find a lot of lines that later inspired Dylan. Burroughs had a line that went something like “if you’re not growing then you’re dying”. I think that inspired the later, superior Dylan line which is “if you’re not busy being born you’re busy dying”

    If I ever got to meet someone like Dylan I think I'd faint man. Seriously. I studied Dylan , studied his influences from when he was unknown , stuff he first got into when he went to New York, latter years stuff.... I'm not an obsessive fan at all I couldn't tell you half his albums, what's more interesting to me is DYLAN the GUY more than his music, cause I see him as a Keuroac, as a Ginsberg. As something way beyond music. Idk...idk what I'm trying to say and neither does anyone when it comes to Dylan. I just ... man it would be so great though.

      I had a professor who was a famous poet. He swore that to his ear, Dylan was the reincarnation of famous Irish poets. That opened my eyes (and ears) to Dylan. I never heard him the same way again.

      Dylan was very intelligent, and quite a talented poet, but the difference between Kerouac and Dylan, is Kerouac was true, he was sincere, he didn’t try to create a persona, jack was jack, Dylan on the other hand fabricated a lot of his background in interviews to create a mystique and intrigue about him especially in the early days, when he first arrived in New York.

    A couple of years ago, I had an opportunity to lay a bouquet of roses on Kerouac's grave. In the graveyard, they now have a big memorial marker that seems like it marks a grave; I think they're trying to keep people from walking on the graves and I don't blame them. All kinds of tributes are left around that marker; bottles of wine and books and cigarettes, pencils and blank paper, letters to him bound lightly etc.
    I went and set down the flowers and thought about him beside the ground marker grave, for a while. My sister patiently waited and after a while I got up and we left.

      Or rather is it an insight into Ginsburg's knowledge and interest in poetry and how Dylan just stood there and perhaps listened or perhaps didn't. I personally think Ginsburg used Dylan to make himself more famous with the younger generation that was following Dylan. It seems history has given Ginsburg a pass on this.

      Dylan says, "No, I won't be in an unmarked grave." I don' know if that' s because he wants to be cremated, or just a statement that we, the masses, won't allow him privacy/solitude even in death. We'll make a shrine out it..........

    One night after a lecture, Allen Ginsberg went with my uncle and friends to my uncles cabin and talked and drank all night. They called their brother ( my dad) who’d been working on his dissertation on Ginsburg. They handed the phone to my dad and Ginsburg said “Hello John” and they talked for a long time. The end.

    Very nice tour of the Grotto. Mother Mary and all. I think they also walk past #9 where Jack lived. I went to the city of St Jean (Lowell) once a long time ago. I wish I had the eyes I have now, then. I was young and didn't fully understand what Dylan, The Beatles, Steely Dan and a million other bands were actually writing songs about. We all hear songs from many different artists about Kerouac and the other Beats. Dylan's entire career has played out most of the adventures or misadventures chronicled in the books written by Kerouac and the other Beats. It's apparent that he absorbed them and translated them for us to reflect on our own lives and times.
