Bibliomania: On the Road with Jack Kerouac, Part 1

[BulletForHitler]

Good video but I think it is a bit ignorant and in poor taste to say hitchhikers are all psychopaths nowadays. Joking or not, please dont make such generalizations. Thanks for the video though.

[mtregaron]

Cheers

i'm sick of that "mad ones" quote. done to death.

[TheDomavoy]

As well as this from Allen Ginsberg's Howl: I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix"

[Invereview]

Yeah, but you got to remember new generations come this this literature everyday and its new to them...if you poo poo this, you are in a way no better than these University English lit professors that still refuse to acknowledge The beat generation through snobbery, snobbery is the death of creativity!!

[86kinky86]

That's the most amazing book review I've ever seen! Simply amazing.

[blacksheeppro]

Thank you!

ahh! the mad ones...

[Soulnik]

The Jack Kerouac Lofts?!? Gimme me a fucking break.

Nice videos, BTW.

[metrodash]

I lived in Denver 4 yr and drove by that Charlie Brown bar 1x a wk, was always curious but never went in! Thx for video

[holden1787]

Great piece---relevant, interesting information with a filming of the landscape that flows like kerouac prose. I'll check out your other stuff too. Way to go.

[rychlewski27]

the big guy with beard and curly hair looks like an ageing allen ginsberg lmao

[leadbelly33]

When I die, I certainly hope people don't assume how I would feel about things.

[chuckdee121]

I think Kerouac had a real good sense of humor, and would have got a kick out of Beat condos going for sky high prices. He'd be real zen about it, and maybe ask about time shares for squares.

[HarryTheHippo]

There is no zen at all about that. To market his name for lofts is a bit disrespectful. I do not think he would dig it all. Unless he was alive and endorsed it. Which I am sure he would not. Unless also if he needed the money. It is all very sad!

[metrodash]

His estate (the Sampas') probably sold his name for use...the only thing to laff at is yuppies spending 400k to look down on railroad tracks

[jcmerz3233]

Great video! I live in Denver and have always wanted to retrace his footsteps around town. There is just something about Denver and how it personifies "The American West"

[smithsfan]

Hi! I thought this video was really great. Like, Conner, I'm kind of jealous. But it was definitely awesome.

Hey Mr. Lamb,

This is a really cool video. I am slightly envious of you, Augustine, Barzegar, and Rosenthal. But still, a really cool video.

-Conner

[gimmemo1]

Cool stuff. Check out Finding Jack Kerouac-Not as gritty as real beat stuff but cool nonetheless

[Cuseman1503]

Yeah those lofts are bull. Kerouac would never want something like that. I hope to God that the Kerouac estate did not allow this. $300,000? Kerouac would curse that as Jesus cursed the temples.

[blacksheeppro]

I am pretty sure the Kerouac Estate had to give permission. The realtor who showed us the place didn't seem to know much about why the name was chosen. Thank for watching!

[davidnc76]

Did the Kerouac Estate give those people the rights to use his name? That makes me sick.

[davidnc76]

thanks for posting.
