Gore Vidal, from Palimpsest, : "Drunken Jack had made a fool of himself on Buckley,Jr.'s television program; and then never ceased to admire that profound political thinker" P.S. The fellow's name was Yablonsky

  • Kerouac changed the world with his words.

  • Yes he lived with his mother till the end, but he was a horrible alcoholic (many say closeted homosexual, which ate at him fiercely due to his devote catholic upbringing- he was never able to reconcile the life he lived and wanted to live, with his upbringing), he died from horrible hemorrhaging, vomiting blood and bile, rushed to the hospital & died. I've been to his grave. Jack was a brilliant, mixed up dude.

  • I prefer a drunken fool before a complacent bully.

  • 1:38 Jack Nicholson!? :O

  • god, Kerouck is so FOS , agreed what two polarized competing cartoon universes between he & Bill Schmuckley jr each doing their very best at winnign the "Drak Energy Award"

  • has been pointed out that BUCKLEY was a brilliant man. That point is conceded, with this caveat: If only he could have used his talents for Good instead of Evil, think how the world might have benefited. Always the prophet for the rich & social elite . He did take his yaht out in later days beyond 3mi limit to smoke marijuana but had, by turns, been the cheerleader of racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, greed and noblesse (no oblige).

    You fake artsy hipster. Before Hitchens came around Buckley was America's greatest public intellectual. And I am so NOT a conservative. Kerouac was a great writer. You don't have to like anybody but respecting what people do best is a good idea. Kerouac did many things badly, like speaking in public while drunk off his ass but no rational person would argue that both of these men were like comic strip characters.

  • Kerouac was a mommy's boy Crashing at mommy's house when ' off the road'.

    Also reponsible for Neal Cassidy's demise, set him up in a fatal role.

    'Beats'- as in 'need their ass...'

  • @tomada36 YES! lol
