tosspot Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 out for a few beers the other night with a couple of mates ended up in a late night coffee shop ( yeah i know must be my age ) anyhow at a table adjacent to ours were a bunch of student types deep in discussion about whether the works of Jack Kerouac really did inspire the Beatnik generation and whether there were any intrinsic comparisons to Che Guevara where as the topic of conversation at our table was more concerned with whether we'd like to allow either Kylie or Danni into our beds, but alas not both, and exactly what appropriate deeds would be committted i don't know the youth of today eh!!! P.S Danni won hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbivvy Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 The American writer Jack Kerouac, b. Jean Louis Kerouac, Lowell, Mass., Mar. 12, 1922, d. Oct. 21, 1969, became the leading chronicler of the beat generation, a term that he coined to label a social and literary movement in the 1950s. After studying briefly at Columbia University, he achieved fame with his spontaneous and unconventional prose, particularly the novel On the Road (1957). After the success of this work Kerouac produced a series of thematically and structurally similar novels, including The Dharma Bums and The Subterraneans (both 1958), Doctor Sax (1959), Lonesome Traveler (1960), and Big Sur (1962). His loosely structured, autobiographical works reflect a peripatetic life, with warm but stormy relationships and a deep social disillusionment assuaged by drugs, alcohol, mysticism, and biting humor. so after studying at columbia the Che Guevara comparisons can be understood. i think.

I looked it up on Wikkipedia for a nanosecond and bored myself to tears. My revised entry would be: "Beat Generation" - A bunch of gaylordian layabouts that drunk too much and skived off work under the guise of being intellectual and arty. As for the more important Kylie -vs- Danny debate - oh yes, in the immortal words of Avid Merion... "I love her, twice in the face". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darebear Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 for a moment there i actually sat upright and read with some interest because of a potential discussion about kerouac and che guevara. blahhhh. im disappointed if any of you get the chance, you should try reading kerouac's 'on the road' (a story of two friends on road trips in the 40's, on a quest for true experience and meaning of life). but those students you overheard were *****. discussing whether kerouac really did inspire the beat generation? it was kerouac himself who named the generation 'beat', and he is the principal avatar in my opinion. hmmm anyway tosspot, you must have known something of these writers to have remembered the students' discussion. either that or you really need to get a life dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 mmmmmm get a life eh!!! you may be correct in your assumption Darebear or maybe not all PWF folk stopped reading after Mr Crabtree goes fishing or the Beano annual 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 We had a similar discussion the other lunchtime as to whether or not Nigella Lawson would have a hairy 'you know what' or not Can't say I am the slightest bothered about the beat generation though And it's always been Dannii for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigella Lawson doesn't do it for me - say her name and I am instantly reminded of her father and in so doing remember the Spitting Image puppet of him. Mind you she has lovely bangers.

Mungler Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 For me it's got to be the bird who does lion watch, Saba Douglas - Hamilton P. Ah, a liking of the posh. For me it has to be Sarah "you don't get many of them to the pound" Beeny. A dream woman - minted, big jubblies and could rebuild, rewire and replumb a house. What about Spice Girls then - which one and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I stupidly watched that Top of the Pops rubbish the other night and the Spice Girls were on it. I'd have to say that it would be Emma B in that little white number she was wearing. Tantalising "up" shots by the camera man were rather pleasant P.

tosspot Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 indeed tosspot. i was 'extracting the michael'? i know Darebear just joshing with yer it could be argued that American youth culture was already heading in that direction and Kerouac jumped on the bandwagon at a very early stage and although helped to mould the outcome he wasn't responsible for starting it just as the sex pistols are acclaimed to have started the punk revolution the ramones predated them by three years but the pistols and Kerouac receive the the credit as they had the where withal to claim the cultural banner just as the public opinion started gathering momentum or i believe the Whizzer and Chips annual of 1978 vintage to be the pinnacle of my childhood meanderings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
