The written pieces were just so-so. It felt a little bit too much like a textbook on the beat culture. Still, during this time of civil unrest and upheaval, the chapter “Black Beats and Black Issues” really resonated with me! I read through that one twice!
Kind of ironic, that to me, the written portion of this book is very clinical, almost sterile. The beats wrote in a bee-bop sort of fashion, sort of jazzy, semi-free associative, and kind of wild. The pieces in here are more of a scholarly type. Not beat-like at all.
But, the beats changed, didn't they. William Burroughs in a Nike ad. Republican Clint Eastwood directing a film about Charlie Parker. Things change, things don't always make sense. Maybe that's kinda 'beat' after all! ( )
