wow, i have not even pulled up this video in quite a while...my brother and i made it on a lark one night! it makes me laugh how back-slapping wads take so much time to comment on the black suit! enjoy your bitterness...i'll keep reading..and the "echo", lordy lordy! end of the world!

[jimmystorbakken]

yeah man nice flow, the echo is just off-putting I guess. When it comes to Kerouac, or any beat writings, the words themselves are enough to leave the right impressions.

[nealcassady13]

@jimmystorbakken it was a while ago now..i agree though

[MrTheojay]

use reverb, not delay

[nealcassady13]

good to know, thanks.

I mean this with no disrespect- don't try so hard- write poetry- make a video- but don't do the echo mic shit with you in the dark in your dark clothes drinking wine trying to be it.

[nealcassady13]

@holden1787 I don't even know who Jack Kerouac is.

[holden1787]

@bullettoothburrows ...that if he the jackass had one iota of knowledge about Kerouac all that stuff is all unnecessary.Even Ginsberg and Corso who appreciated reading their own work with a poetic flare would choke to death having to watch the jackass make a mockery out of the Beat Generation. Now if you'd like to chat about Kerouac's "mad road" we can do that. You go first: What do you make of it?

[holden1787]

@bullettoothburrows Okay, let's go back to the beginning then. My assertion was that the jackass in the video clearly appears to be more interested in the (cliche) presentation of Kerouac's work than he was his words, which simply require reading without emphasis on "sounding" poetical. I based my claim on the echo he uses on his voice and the way he dresses in all black as he sips wine in his black/white-washed film, hip-like. Ugh.

[bullettoothburrows]

@holden1787 Yeah, I guess you're right.

[holden1787]

@bullettoothburrows 1. You work full-time and hate your job. Your education is not utilized at all, and that makes you bitter but also sad. 2. You're single and passed through your entire basic education without having cupped a firm healthy tit, lay a nipple in your mouth, tickle one with your tongue. You watch strangers pass with beautiful women tucked under their arms and ask yourself what "they" have over you. Your sad secret is that you stare into the mirror and know why.

[holden1787]

@bullettoothburrows Yes, you're right, almost. I was an undergraduate who failed out of college partly for sitting in the back of the class asleep and partly for not being able to employ words like troglodyte in my essays and research papers, for all I ever wanted was to play golf in puffy checkered pants and smoke my pipe and have hot tea with a smidgen of honey sipped whilst online posing as an intellectual snob. Oh please teach me everything you know, filthy fish cunt.

[holden1787]

@bullettoothburrows I never heard of William Blake nor have I read any of the big words you use like banal or ubiquitous or compos mentis. Wow you are very smart. How did you learn so much---you sound so refined and intelligent. Teach me, bitch.
