Kerouac's "On the Road" Uncensored - Page 2

Toilet & Bowels · 07.27.2006, 06:38 AM

everyone i've ever met who has been into the beat generation has been almost identical in their outlook on life and the way they view themselves. they all think they're rebels, sticking it to the man through the medium of the poetry slam, or some other nonsense

And flip lops are there en masse for such folks!

there was an article in the guardian today about men who wear flipflops in the city. according to the guardian, it's sun readers who all wear sandals.

Not surprised.

I'm guessing Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels?

This is pretty neat. I'm pretty sure I'll get it.

cool.

I saw the original scroll last year. It was on a museum tour and we had it here on campus for a few months. The museum unscrolled the entire length in a display case so you could walk along and read it.

Agreed, and with trunky-wunky an' all. Genet/ Miller do for me what Kerouac does a lot better. I still have time for Burroughs, but that's because he's not the most transparent journo-gone-highbrow imagainable, a title that Kerouac kindly stole from Orwell.

The Dharma Bums and The Subterraneans.

Oh and he's not just about trekking back and forth across the country, y'all.

Don't try to defend him. He had willingly bad hygiene.

*Edit: I suspect that should be "willfully." Anyone else who noticed, know that I know, and proceed to fuck off.

He truly was a great (one of the last truly greats too), but I (too) identify with the criticisms of the motives & sincerity of Kerouac-readers & the branding (organic branding, but branding nonetheless...if you follow my meaning) of Kerouac that (I think) Cantankerous & also truncated alluded towards

(adding my own little damage: -- now if the only good lit people's people own is Kerouac really & then they like (as favorite artists) M.C. Escher (puke) & Salvador Dali (good & interesting but still way too branded) & they don't appreciate Picasso, for instance, then we got problems...)

...to be continued?

on the road is fucking my brain up, i want to just leave everything behind and go hitch a ride to my death on a highway in a foreign country, or at least visit denver.

wouldn't it be awesome if there was deluxe edition printed on a scroll wrapped in a reproduction of a vintage keychain?

i'd love to read the uncut, unrated and uncensored, not for prime time, hbo version of the book.

Never read "On the Road" but its on my list to read. Now that I hear its being re-issued I'll wait till it comes out to read it now. Its just like all those damn re-issue albums. You buy the original and then a few years later they release a verison with more songs on it. But since I never read this book, reading the original version of it will be awesome, since it will all be new to me.

Awesome! I loved the original book and now I can't wait to hear about all the crazy shit Kerouac pulled out on the road (no pun intended). I'll bet it reads more like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" now that it will contain a stronger sense of drugs and sex.
