Historic stuff.jack kerouac explains on the road
this clip is simply wonderful. in it kerouac not only gives us a glimpse into his thought process in writing this american classic but he reads a passage from the book as well.
this clip may interest no one but myself but i feel as though i found a diamond in the youtube rough with this one.
i was obsessed with the beats, kerouac, ginsberg, burroughs, and the yippies, abbie hoffman, jerry rubin etc… kind of cliche, as most people seem to be draw to them in their twentysomething, trying to find your way years. i still find them to be such interesting personalities who lived fascinating lives. they all intertwine with the great musicians and poets in the late 50s and early 60s along with dylan and lennon. i think part of me wishes i was around then.
