I came to Kerouac - to an extent the entire Beat situation - in the late 1980s thru documentaries & then such recorded materials. Just as if he were another RawkStar, really.
...Now - I regard Kerouac as significant as anyone & anything. (Even Burroughs said Jack was the first: He *knew* he was a Writer beyond any doubt or question.) To me - altho Kerouac reverted to suicidal alcoholic Catholic Conservatism... he did the most subversive thing of all :
He showed that Everything is Poetry.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

↳ Mr. Oxford @3:26
...another point there
...for me, 'On The Road' is not even what it's about with Kerouac. Tho for the Age Group @ the time (OTR *finally* published in 1957 after years & years of Jack carrying it around as *literally* one long Scroll Scripture / Road *itself*) - it was the precursor to all the promise of the 1960s rebellions. Keraouc himself got conflated with Moriarity - his characterization of Cassady - & Cassady did too. Which - why mince words - really actually killed them both.

Interesting when you mention Kerouac showing that Everything is Poetry. Earlier when GG was reading from On The Road a line about a woman's "smoky blue country eyes" (hopefully I am not getting it wrong), I remembered how I discovered Ginsberg and other Beats. It was while watching a Bob Dylan documentary called No Direction Home by Martin Scorsese. It showed briefly how Dylan was inspired by the Beats. For a 17 year old me, Dylan was THE poet. And I feel the "smoky blue country eyes" is the kind of stuff Dylan would come up with.

As much as I enjoy lots of JK writing and admire him as a counter-culture icon, I have to admit that towards the end he wrote some terrible junk and drank himself to death. Very sad. The Thirsty Muse Alcohol and the American Writer by Tom Daris is a very interesting study of how alcohol affected and ruined the careers of Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and O'Neill.

Definitely "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was more Chuck Berry influenced. But a lot of the writing found in Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde albums are inspired by literature - some of which I think would include Beat Poetry (albeit without all the expletives and subversive provocations).

On The Road was a huge influence of this teenager. I read it in a couple of days then with the pal that lent me the book, immediately hit the road and hitched to Bournmouth!

I saw it was titled Squeeze Me, Please Me - my favourite Slade song...so I'm hoping for some Slade!

I see Kerouac as being like Elvis ...in several ways - but in this : He saw & brought forth a World he himself found no place in. Jack believed in Piety & Beatitude. But the 1960s were Revolutionary. Not everybody jived with that exactly.

I'm very into the Beats. Obviously. They're a whole major stage of CounterCulture.
