The drunk the junk the sex work all remind me of city light, if I need city light I would have had city light. SF/

Jack is America. Jack is ours. Jack is the one that represents us. We love him. Learn from him. Listen to him!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I started reading Jack when I was living in Austin Texas in 1974 , one night I was smoking some Oaxaca weed and listening to Austin Public Radio and they were playing spoken word from Jack , I fell in love with his voice and the poetry, went out the next day and bought On The Road, everyone should watch Jack on The Steve Allen Show

Is this poem the origins of the band Railroad Earth's name?

Love the way he reads the article out loud

You can warm up or chill out to his poetic prose. It is like a first girlfriend feeling every time. The world opens up and you swallow it whole. All good things must come to an end. Not with Jack...

Actually in SF at the moment.... None of this checks out. 😁🍻

I wonder what Jack would think of San Francisco now, in 2024?

I don't wanna be fat

@danielheggelund3472 4 ай бұрын

I'd rather be thin than famous, I don't wanna be fat. A woman throws me outta bed calling me "gordo". And everytime i bend over to pick up my suspenders from my davern port floor, i explode loud, huge grunto, and disgust everyone in the familio. I rather be thin than famous, but I'm fat! Paste that in your broadway show.

I remember buying this box set in 1992. This is track 1 of the Steve Allen disc. I was hooked immediately, and since then, I've probably listened to this track three THOUSAND times. I think that it is absolutely necessary to listen to Jack reading his own material before you ever read his books.

I agree 100% with you on that.

I listened to this whole album on a rainy stormy night in New York. I was 20 years old in the city, there for work. Had an apartment on Elizabeth street, and I just listened to Jack and sat on my windowsill looking out…

That is so great! I can see it now. You sound like one of his characters. Martin Scorcese lived on Elizabeth Street I believe.

This, after so many years, is still the voice of America. Godspeed, Jack. Thanks for all those wonderful words.

I remember reading the Beats in my English Council house youth. The only iplace n Britain you could buy the Beat poets was at Compendium Books on Camden High Street in London so I'd get the train. Reading On the Road, Beats criss-crossing America like lost souls, voluptuos Bohemian women and authentic jazz. I love classic jazz albums from the 50's an 60's, Coltrane's sheets of sound and classy Miles Davies. Trying to be something that I am not, I guess. Jack was a lost soul, just like the rest of us.

I saw him in Florida'68 at a bookstore. He was reading Henry Miller. I introduced myself. Then fled. 😎

I came across his writing 2 years after he died. Even the I was too young and hadn't been hardly anywhere. Yet I think of him and kick myself. I was driving then when he was still alive (at 19) and he was 15 miles east from where I was every day. But I didn't know then. Same went for Coltrane, whose sound I did know. They died the same year in the same town. Fifteen miles away and not even because I was lazy.

A great descendant of the romantic poets and the prose masters. His humor and irony. Hidden sarcasm. Total joy listening to him. I found myself in his words. Thank you, ol' brother. Everybody needs to read Visions of Gerard. And Old Angel Midnigbt. His two very best. Much love to all you poets and lovers and enjoyers of life. Those whole blood runs through the Cosmos. Your buddy, Geo. ❤❤❤

Doctor Sax is an amazing read as well. People always talk about how he was influenced by jazz, but in this book it is clear that he was smote by James Joyce & others as well. His word-play is exceptional.

I am not really a Sinatra fan kind of before my time but I think Kerouac would easily out- croon him I hear Sinatra in him. And he did perform with music often...Never regard Sinatra as cool but still a "link"-😊

Listen to Sinatra's " Watertown."
