Just because you are in Denver doesn't make you a beatnik

The beat mystique really isn’t all that grand… a bunch of drunks hanging out stealing cars, hopped up on drugs and writing. What makes them so fucking special?

Met someone tonite who is in Denver because Neal Cassady and Kerouac were here.

Um Hello… it really was all about Allen Ginsberg from the very beginning…. Hard to rewrite others idea of what literary history is about. Didn’t have a clue how the whole thing went down.

I tried to explain it but he was too drunk and getting his tab paid for by my friend. Neal would be so proud.
