keep reading my friend, the beat generation is responsible for some of america's best writings, if not the best this country has ever authored. check out lenny bruce, he was sort of a beat comedian, same sort of style anyway.

WHEN WAS THIS MADE? If it was made when it looks like it was made, you had a lot of civil rights leaders and supporters getting beaten/killed, a war in South East Asia, the young hippies, the old BEAT cowboys, new drugs, everyone knows the history, this is a film of TWO people who played a part in that history, talking about what was going on at the time, just a conversation like we may have now about the Middle East or North Korea. This is fun to watch, thank you OM, you are great.

This illustrates why kerouac had the most class out of the beats; he didn't like to make such an exhibition of himself in front of camera...what a ridiculous era it must've been - the 60's that is - a few guys write, by my reconing, 2 good books, a few ok books, some good poems, a few ok books and poems, plus mountains of rubbish, then they're wheeled out in front of camera and treated like everything they say was pure budda wisedom!!!
