It's Official #Jack Kerouac

[meegannie]

He was
....... Fab
..................... with a Capital F
................................................... drunken postcards
..................................................................................... and slanty writing

......................................................................................................................................... are you Communists?

 

[meegannie]

And he didn't have
--an ugly beard
like Allen Ginsberg

i don't care if it's not really a haiku

jack rules
- book on my shelf -
zen vibes to my mind

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I read On The Road

10 chapters

I bet there was something I didn't get

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

On the Road is one of the most beautiful books ever written.

 

[beegee]

oh yes. yes. kerouac.

i just recently became the proud owner of a lovely copy of 'some of the dharma.'

 

[verte76]

We have "On the Road" at work. I have got to read it. I'm so over-committed in the book department it's scandalous.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

And he didn't have
--an ugly beard
like Allen Ginsberg

And he didn't shoot his wife in the head like Burroughs did...

I am a Kerouac junkie...I did my senior thesis this spring on On the Road and U2...quite an ambitious little project, but it worked.
However Desolation Angels is my favorite....

 

[zoney!]

we've got the beat...everybody...we've got the beat

I got to see Ginsberg though.

It was quite wonderful. Ugly beard and all.

Catholic school conservatives protesting at the door.

 

[jkayet]

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo

"Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

do not mock the beard... the beard holds the power

 

[meegannie]

That beard could hold small woodland creatures.

 

[zoney!]

or the rest of a subway sandwhich

 

[~LadyLemon~]

starving hysterical naked...
