  • i wonder if those kids in the back are thinking, "hey, im gonna be on youtube one day."

  • That dude on the right does not look like wants to be there towards the end of this film.

  • neal cassady is all "how much longer do i have to sit through another one of his poems..."

  • Seeing Neal, I picture Dean crashing the limousine into the ditch! hahah.

    Any page from 'On The Road' with Dean in a car and you know it's gonna be great.

  • How much pathos in this pathetic being.

  • man if they took my poems i would wage war.

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

  • 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

  • i heard him read this poem at radford university sometime around 1990

  • Neil was mad...

    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!"

    -Jack Kerouac

  • Look at Cassady's eyes. He does look mad! Just like Kerouac described

  • could anybody help me and wirte what Cassady is talking? pleeeaase!

    thanks!

  • 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

  • @Androg Carlo Marx was indeed Allen.

  • who's the woman sitting next to neal?

  • 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 just came to a realization...dean moriarty from "on the road" is supposed to be neal..is this true?

  • @aznskater44 yes...dean is neal...

  • @aznskater44 - Yeah.

  • 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!

  • Many thanks for posting!

  • Just a few minutes on rue de la Victoire.

    Such fragrance Gypsy Women.

    Sorry dear, I whispered.

    Fornication can wait.

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

  • 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

  • @goshnessmaggy

    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.

  • king of may , king of gay , same difference

  • @colotiv same brilliance

  • Allen Ginsberg looks exactly like David Cross!

  • You mean David Cross looks like Allen; he was born before him...therefore you must keep it in a chronological time frame.

  • 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.

  • @BlueRonsonol

    That's perfect casting. I'll check that movie out. Is it good?

  • @jimbrown257 Very. Cate Blanchett is amazing.

  • @BlueRonsonol What year is it?

  • @johnnychaos91185

    GINSBERG Conversation part 2 1965

  • David Cross portrays Allen in the movie "I'm not there" about Bob Dylan... I don't know if you've seen it, but it's good.

  • king of gay,shut it bitch.

  • where is our Ginsberg? Where is our Cassady? Where is my mind? Where is yours?

  • psst.
