About The Beat Generation
"... a generation of crazy illuminated hipsters suddenly raising and roaming America, serious, curious, bumming and hitchhiking everywhere, ragged, beatific, beautiful in an ugly graceful new way - a vision gleaned from the way we had heard the word beat is spoken on street corners on Times Square and in the Village, in other cities in the downtown-city-night of postwar America - beat, meaning down and out but full of intense conviction." Jack Kerouac.
woe unto those who spit on the Beat Generation, the wind'll blow it back.
