I dont know who to ask about Neal,many of you seem to have known him.But how did he feel about being the centre of so much writing..maybe I should search first
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
Am I an idiot for only just realising that Carlo Marx in On The Road seems to be Allen Ginsberg in reality? and i assume this is a comment on his communist leanings as a young man
Most writers had inspiration on various comon lifre figures. We cannot judge them. These video is a important historical register of art, poetry, personas and personages. The myth of youth, nowadays, though the cinema brought by figures like James Dean, always lives in the human set of archetypes.
i absolutely love the beats. whenever i get writer's block i just need to read some of their stuff or watch a video that displays their raw brilliance and i just write instead of thinking. sometimes its shit sometimes its good but at least it's real!
I enjoyed that poem :D. And Dean Moriarty, the great Neal Cassady is right there listening to it all :] I'd like to see him as described in "On the Road" though, I can see it a bit but it seems like he's being polite as it is a film for Ginsberg after all
Neal was really not that kind of person from what I understand. He was very egotistical and gravitated toward people who tended to lavish him with adulation. And this is his Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test character: "Speed Limit". So bombed he couldn't talk. Kesey summed it up after one of Neal's long rap sessions by saying "Cassady doesn't have to think." He was conquering the lag between reality and thought by just rapping word after endless word. Dexedrine psychosis.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ginsberg obviously holds himself in high regard , gassing on about police " seizing " his prvate journals , " searching" his journals for " illegal writings " . fuckhead . in the middle of this self-referential monologue , he casually remarks that he was elected
" King of May", then has the gall to " share a poem" he wrote on that very subject . meanwhile , neal cassady , infinitely more interesting, sits idly by ..
i wonder if those kids in the back are thinking, "hey, im gonna be on youtube one day."

Powerful free thinkers. I hope the new "Howl" movie helps more people see things with their own eyes instead of with the Left/Right group-think eyes.

Everybody salivates over Jack and Neal but I've always found Allen the most interesting of the beats. By far.

Allen Ginsberg looks exactly like David Cross!
jimbrown257 2 years ago 3
You mean David Cross looks like Allen; he was born before him...therefore you must keep it in a chronological time frame.
BlueRonsonol 2 years ago 7
My bad.
But you have to agree that David Cross looks just like Ginsberg (especially in this clip) without a beard.

@jimbrown257 Did you see I'm not There? The movie about Bob Dylan. David portrays Ginsberg in it actually.
