Bob Dylan & Allen Ginsberg Visiting Jack Kerouac's Grave (Lowell, MA., 1975) 

I was sidestage at a Dylan show and there stood Allen Ginsberg . So I went up and talked to him . Real nice guy .

Jack has been gone for 66 years tomorrow. I visited his grave on the day of his passing 9 years ago, my husband and I, then we got salad and spaghetti at the restaurant across the street.

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”

Yes. Truly three mortal and immortal poets here reflecting...

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.

Fabulous! Ginsberg did a great job of keeping Kerouac alive. It's great to see him with Dylan. Perfect with the music.

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.

Allen Ginsberg and his speech towards the end was the highlight for me in this film

Very much great scene with very great version of, Hard Rain ... thank you so much for sharing ...

Thank you. God Bless you for this reverant footage

This my hometown I’ve been to his grave many time and every time it equally as cool as the last

OMG I'm dying. What an amazing clip. Just love the way he sang Hard Rain on that tour with so much energy!

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.

“I want to be in an unmarked grave”

Oh, this is so beautiful! So so beautiful. I too have always made to visit graves and récite lines à propos. Thank you, comrade.

beautiful video, thank you

This is a very ( precious) sharing

I live in Los Angeles now, but this is filmed about 5 minutes from where I grew up in MA. Incredibly cool to see.

This really is an amazing personal insight of Bob Dylan's interest in poetry. Thank You for sharing this lovely story bound by very beautiful audio 💖💖

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.

Just yesterday I was listening a 2 DVD BD Rolling Thunder Revue with an Unreleased concert footage from Renaldo & Clara recorded in Montreal 4thdec.' 75 ; Cambridge , MA 20thnov.'75 ; Boston 21st nov Late Show and Clinton ,NJ 7th dec.'75 ( 1st versión Knockin' on Heaven's Door) .. Here comes too Hard Rain US TV (Colorado 23may'76) and Hard Rain Japanese TV ; and a rejected TV special recorded at the Starlight Ballroom in the Belleview Biltmore Hotel , Clearwater, Florida (22 nd april '76) .... Just an snack before the great official reléase on 12 Juni ....

Unmarked grave for Bob 🙏🏻

It’s amusing to watch Allen insistingly infiltrating Dylan’s brain and Dylan keeping his distance.

This was so good, well made, thanks so much for this.

Two intellectuals; The Joker & The Thief....

The protestant cemetery in Rome where Keats is buried. Beautiful place.

Thanks, i like these snippets. Why was it recorded, if not to be seen...

Beautiful video

So Naturlig ♡

Nice when Dylan says (maybe joking....) he wants to end up in an unmarked grave. Well, if it's good enough for Frank Zappa.

“I’m a member of NAMBLA,”...because I love boys too-everybody does, who has a little humanity.” -Alan Ginsberg

Very great video and thank you for sharing @chuckcheeba

What yr was this .,,I go to jacks grave all the times ..it looked so different in this video

Please,can you tell me the version of that"hard rains gonna fall" that playing on background.. I can't find I'll be pleased if you answer..tnx

Read alot of his books never made to desolation peak eventhough i lived in Washington

They have a large gravestone for Kerouac now, behind the small one still in the ground. Otherwise everything else is the same.

what netflix documentary are you talking about in the description?

Stella Kerouac died in 1990 and is also buried in the Lowell cemetery. I wonder why they didn't put her death date on the headstone, unless she is not buried with Jack Kerouac.

Could there have been a more perfect human being than Jack Kerouac? No. Period.

Oh! Lord let us to die in our footsteps & keep our grave clean & pure for all the rest of the days until a Hard Rain's a' gonna fall & the whole world Will sink into the Ocean!

COOL VIDEO ! TUESDAY 7/25/23 JULY 25, 2023

You have to see Hibbing to believe it. Go in June.

Interesting how Dylan reads it in the language of the inscription and Ginsburg interprets.Latin?

What book are they reading?

1:18

''There's artists who can wrest us up, & place us into their art. These; Now These are the 'One's Who' continue to wrest us up... Even beyond their rests in peace.'' -William Gilpin 10919 Stay thirsty for these ''One's Who'' my friends. For they are the Assuagers of our Spiritual Thirsts.

Creepy Ginsberg always had a thing for kids

What a perfect hat to wear to a gravesite, Zimmy.

Dylan entered my soul early like Moloch did for Allen in heat ❤ (alan to me)

Flowers my dudes? no huaraches?

This is such a beautiful fucking Video, i'm a Keuroac fan, here's Bob Dylan a dude than influenced movements, fucking MOVEMENTS, fucking rights movements , man did speeches and concerts next to Dr. Martin Luther King with Ginssberg, at Keuroacs grave. There is nothing I admire more in another man that true Intellectualship, not pretending to be like say Jordan Peterson and his shills, but a R E A L Intellectual.

An unmarked grave, unlike his pompous hat.

Ginsburg clearly enjoyed those kids, Dylan - not so much.

Christ Jesus is the Lord King of kings and has risen

Ginzy was deep-incredibly, Dylan is deeper. Some people reduce him to prophet status-he is just . a genius .We are lucky

Jack Kerouac Didn't honor his daughter. He ignored her all his life.I believe he met her once when a paternity test was performed on her as a child.

Ginsberg in a playground full of young boys I bet the nonce was hard as a rock
