mmmm... re-reading On The Road as a 68 year old, really not impressed with Dean/Neal. Amoral is an understatement. Thieving tanks of gas and cartons of cigarettes simply is not a 'good' thing.

Great clip. But the anti semitism towards Ginsberg was thick, especially from Keourac. Ginsberg did … inveigle his way into lots of circles, and seemingly use people for self promotion. Add Dylan to that list. To laugh at that remark is a reminder of why that person is the interviewer, not the storyteller. Oh well. The Beats were an interesting crowd- seemingly always at the edge of sociopathy. Acolytes , less so imo. .

This was a time period where being hip really had nothing to do with acting like you were.Just real nonconformists. Today's so called hip generation has lost this natural spontaneous freedom. The new left posters and posses. There's a fear a guarded disposition.The new left takes themselves so seriously. A judgemental attitude as if I've seen the light and can bestow any uptight opinion I choose.The men in the new left talk as if there male vocal chords have been removed.A super feminist fem voice is in order.My point is being liberal today is far different far more uptight pretentious and fake than it was during the real people phase. I call it modern Liberal conformity... Sheep.

Neal also never drank a lot because he grew with a alcoholic father whom he lost contact since he was 17 or something which was tough on him and he lost his mother very young too which toughened him up big time.If your a big fan of him you probably know this.Neal just did a lot of speed and LSD.Like a lot of meth probably and a lot of pot and also a lot of opioids probably like pills.

Neal was a decent mechanic and had an intuitive grasp of the slap-bang-wallop of the railroad. It was an extension of the days when he would be the fastest car parker on the lot. He also had a whole upstanding Christian side, especially when he settled down with Carolyn.

This is before I joined the band on bass; can't remember when that was exactly, but I did play a gig with Marc and Gary, and 2 other guys, at the Club Generic. There was no PA, so Marc had to plug his mic into my bass amp. A thrilling night! I rolled my amp on its casters all the way home from the Tenderloin to Bush and Powell. It had a nice hum forever after!
That cough syrup was called Cheracol. We were disappointed when they stopped making it. It worked great, tasted good and made you forget you were sick!
