"I give the Beats credit for at least having had enough of normal whitebread society.....maybe I didn't care for how they expressed it but that they did, and got shit for it, was heartening." -- Agreed. I certainly prefer them to the hippies, to whom they are regarded as "Godfathers". The Beats were mostly educated, unlike the hippies who took Tim Leary's "Turn on, tune in, drop out" a bit too far until they burned out on the whole sex, drugs and Rock n' Roll bit and turned to Evangelical Christianity, or Buddhism, or some other New Age outlet like Scientology... or they simply returned back to their soft, white privileged lives and became Republican CEO's ensconced within our modern neo-fascist, neo-liberal corporate matrix. Or they just rotted away in some street corners, panhandling to get their next fix. Ginsberg forewarned the fate of the hippies in his first few lines of "HOWL" three decades prior, when he wrote in 1955, in the opening of "HOWL": "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix." -- "HOWL" by Allen Ginsberg http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/179381 --------------------- |
