On The Road (1 Viewer)

[ron]

50th anniversary of Kerouac's On The Road recently.

Were there a few cds in the last few years on Rykodisc featuring Matt Dillon, Michael Stipe?

Any other examples of artists tackling Kerouac's book?

Cheers

"The car was swaying as Dean and I both swayed to the rythm and the IT of our final excited joy in talking and living to the blank tranced end of all innumerable riotous angelic particulars that had been lurking in our souls all our lives."

see?

Yeah, Kool Aid is brilliant and Wolfe only got better.

There is a party that Ken Kesey threw that Ginsberg, Wolfe, Kesey and Hunter S Thompson all wrote about after. I think that is pretty cool.

 

[Froog]

there's a torrent floating around of kerouac himself reading on the road. what.cd i think. maybe piratebay?

 

[Los Davos]

i always felt the two books were comparable as zeitgeists of there respective decades and kool aid wipes the floor with on the road.

I got to meet kesey at whelans before he died, i had just been out of hospital for an injury to my arm and i got him to sign my bandage, he called me a madman! Respect!

if it was a kesey party at his mountain retreat i'd say it was pretty wild!

I always used mix up Ken Kesey and Ken Kercheval [Cliff Barnes in Dallas]

Thats pretty cool, was he still all there after so many years of acid abuse?

Yeah, the Pranksters, the Beats and the Hells Angels all descended on the mountain for 4 days of acid and partying with the Dead providing the choons...

were driving the bus around san fran cisco.
