Kerouac, Ginsberg & friends in New York

Thanks for posting this it was great to see some of the beat generation. Their poetry inspires me to keep writing and I feel their spirit every time I visit NYC . Tom was right...it's their humanity that shines through.
Kind regards, Peter

Wow Mary Frank is beautiful even though she doesn't have a Madison Avenue face.

And Jack "rocking" the baby. Such a tender scene. The Beats just radiated humanity and they always made me feel more human.

Stunning footage.

someday my poetry will overcome, isn;t that w3hat he meant?

the best men of my generation.....look hungry crazy for a midnight fix.

That last exchange was worth the price of admission.

Ha! Agreed.

How could I tell what?

that its the lower east side

The Bar was located at the corner of 9th Street and Third Avenue. That places is near the western border of the Lower East Side. I lived on 5th Street and Second avenue.

Of course, nowadays this area is fashionably known as the "East Village," a completely phony name, created in the Sixties, to give the area a more "cool" ambience.




Clear?

Cool, thanks.
Kerouac wrote about the lower east side (i don't know shit about NYC)- is that the same thing?
