Beat Generation - Kerouac & Ginsberg - New York 1959 

Pipe smoking (Tobacco), music.

Always a good choice.

I mean, that tracks. RIP Ti Jean

Thank God for that.

@@davisworth5114No thank's the beat

no mames

If only I was an adult instead of a child at that time, I was only 3.I loved in Woodside Queens just a15 minute ride on the LIRR.

Pure gold without question.

Thanks for saying this. She’s actually an aunt of mine (sort of a distant complex relation from my mom’s Italian side, predominately Sicilian). According to my mom she had a horrible relationship with her conservative old-school Italian dad, this playing a big part in her social rebellion.

@@jeffreyhanc1711thats cool as heckkkk. Without your aunts influence where the hell would us artists have been and would have we had that swing... Bless the Beats

Only time will tell if you are an artist....bit too much ego here

@@CatElse either ego or nothing. The stars or the moon?

DiPrima, Joyce Johnson, Elise Cowan ... the women in the Beat orbit have always been minimized. Johnson's book, Minor Characters, is a wonderful book - I highly recommend it ❤

James Baldwin warned US

@@jennifergalberth1240can u elaborate more? What exactly about what did Mr. Baldwin (love him) have said that i have missed??

@@jennifergalberth1240 Elaborate please.

Crazy that we'd lose him 10 years later. RIP Ti Jean

lol

Ginsberg alert...

That's what I thought when I saw the year this was taken. I was thinking if only jack knew he had 10 years. Imagine the poetry/prose that would of come out of that knowledge.

And your point is..?

@@danif.9414 so this is what you do?

But he DOESN'T KNOW IT !!!

So Hip of you to observe !!!

It was so easy to be counterculture in those days. Just grow facial hair and people thought you were a bit peculiar.

@@stephengholson6543no you ignorant swine. It takes more than looks. I didnt even have to explain it, but your cluelessness made me. Thanks.

​@@stephengholson6543as opposed to nowadays

Sweet? Hope they all grew up to be stable human beings.

The author Caleb Carr is the little boy holding on to his mom, his last book is "My beloved monster, Masha the rescue cat who rescued me".

Au contraire: They "thought" they were cool. Looking at them today, they look like everyday schlubs, all of them.

The major Beats were all over the political spectrum. You couldn't call Kerouac or Burroughs "collective left."

@@zarquondam Good point

@@zarquondam Good point . Like C. Wright Mills...

So?

@@danif.9414 So, people observe; people think; people comment; people opine; people ask So?

Except you can already see that Jack is looking bum-like, the effects of alcoholism is already showing on him, slovenly, distracted, etc.

​@PoPpUnKdOtCoMHe was hanging in Paris/London/Tangiers around this time I think, working on Naked Lunch/Nova Express/Soft Machine.

@MarkAndrews71565 Yeah, I’m re-reading Dharma Bums now (for about the fiftieth time). That was 1958 I think and peak-exuberance of young Kerouac, yet transitioning from youth to middle age. Yeah, in this video he is obviously starting to decline, maybe getting cynical - on the way to that nearly unwatchable interview with WF Buckley on stage with Ed Saunders of Fugs. What a decline. But it was more than just alcohol that brought him down. A bandaid for a psychological decline already in place even in Dharma Bums. Kerouac had total disdain for the hippie era whereas Ginsberg and Cassidy went with it. Kerouac peaked early, too soon, too bad.

One of the blond kids is Caleb Carr, Lucien's Carr son. He's a good writer and in his 70's now, I guess.

i've been trying to find that out myself, no luck yet, shazam just calls it live....

Que sentido tiene

It's so shallow to define the generation with an aesthetic that superficial social media influencers pursue

Best place 2 B

​@@user-lq3qi3ge8fwow we're you tied down while all that was poured into you from an upended text book?

​@@user-lq3qi3ge8fbut predictable

I think more of nasal tube inhalers and/or bennies. So the cats can wail like, forever...

I wasn't alive then but you should read junkie by William Burroughs, he was close friends with Ginsburg. basically Burroughs was a heroin addict and the book is about his interactions with various drug dealers in the 40s. He talked about using amphetamines in times square at one point because coke was so hard to come by. I can't recommend it enough, It's one of the best books I've ever read

@@Olivia-lk9oq COKE HIT THE SCENE IN A OFFICIAL STATUS IN NEW YORK CITY IN 1980 WHERE IT WAS AFFORDABLE. A 1/2 GRAMS WAS $20 AND A GRAM WAS $40-50. THE 8 BALL WAS $100-120.

@@Olivia-lk9oq Burroughs was a murderer, I believe. You have terrible taste.

!!!!!!!

Yes, it is

always wondered what happened to him after the, well,,, 🩸🩸💀💀

@@missmovember I think he went on to work for a university

Yes he defended underage male teenagers getting sexually and romantically schooled by older gays, as in Ancient Greece and many other cultures. In that , by our standards at least, he was wrong. But don't reduce his genius to that, and the legacy of the work he left behind. Or the morality of his politics so far ahead of his time. Reply

Di Prima did boys and girls.

Why?

@@AmorionPax he was a part of nambla

Why is that?

@@DarrenCondron he supported nambla!!

Trying to be funny and making a really stupid and nasty comment. He was NOT a pedophile.

possib !......

Yves i am think to in the begining

hahahahahaa i can dig it! they're creepy on paper too. you look at carr and wonder, how many women has he murdered? and we all know ginsberg just loved to rape the shit out of boys. . . yeah, they were fine on paper, because off of it they were a bunch of grungy, intellectual, eastern establishment, STD infested malcontents, who bitched about everything during one of america's most prosperous times while being white.

Why is it creepy? Explain or are you jncapable of understanding another time?

@@CatElse Don't be upset, he's partly correct. Ginsburg was a lech, indiscreet and compulsive, contemporarily he'd be classified as a pedo.

@@CatElse Hey lady, creepy is creepy anytime, what does "another time" have to do with it?

Famous Middle aged people ignoramus

You think you live as you choose...... Too bad you're headed for the blues

Kerouac died of an intestinal rupture brought on by decades of drinking. He pretty much drank himself to death.

@@miltoncat Truth! Died vomiting blood into his toilet. He was not happy, I think. Success didn't suit him. That OTR was a great success was due to the fact that the usual TIMES reviewer (who disliked Jack) was on vacation. He got a great review from the sub, who liked Jack. And so a great book was launched! Kismet played a large role.

but, somehow, they'll live on . . . unlike you, buzz killington. you're already dead inside.

@@wraithstrongopark pfffffffffff

he was hyped just the right amount, they werent a real big deal in their time, only a certain segment of society knew who the beats were even after tv appearances. My parents who were teens in late 1950s never heard of the beats until I told them about them.
