Original Cover Art For Poetry For The Beat Generation LP By Jack Kerouac On Dot Records.

This is an extremely rare record on Dot. I have never seen it before. This is the original cover art. It was withdrawn and Steve Allen had it reissued on Hanover Records with a different cover.

Heart Beat (Full Movie) This Is About Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac, And Carolyn Cassady



I saw this movie 33 years ago in 1980.  I think it is one of the best movies about The Beat Generation. It is based on a book of the same name by Neal Cassady's wife Carolyn Cassady.

Eddie Hunter Likes Tuba Skinny As Much As I Do They Are Addictive As Cigarettes

See posts below this one for many tubaskinny youtube videos. They are the best thing going. Too good for American Idol or any of the crappy commercial tv and music biz junk that is spoon fed to dumb Americans young and old.

We went to a wedding in Bethesda, Maryland yestersday. As usual the music at the reception after the church service was loud(too loud)but that is what the dancers want. Loud LOUD disco music and other danceable music.

After the church service when I went outside I saw one person smoking. It was the oldest person there out of 200 or more. She was the 85 year old grandmother of the bride. She lit up as soon as she got out of the church.

Later at the reception Ray told me he would give me 100 dollars if I would go over to her table and ask her for a cigarette. I said no. He said he would give me110 dollars. I said no. I told him that Robert Stone(the author)wrote in his memoir PRIME GREEN of being at a party in 1964 with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters. It was at Stone's apartment and Jack Kerouac was there also.
Stone's one converstation with Kerouac went like this. He asked Kerouac if he could bum a cigarette off of him. Kerouac  told him no. He told Stone there was a store down on the corner and that he (Stone)should go down there and buy his own cigarettes.
