Great list.  I'll add one more that Kerouac writes about in OTR -- pgs.

112-114. The scene depicts Dean and Sal in rapture over "The Hunt" by

Wardell Grey and Dexter Gordon. It would make a great movie scene

incidently;if the movie conveys that energy it could make a jazz

renaissance. Anyway, The song is on a double album also called The Hunt.

It's a double album that also features Howard McGhee, Sonny Criss, and

Trummy Young.  It was a live gig recorded in 1947 in LA but released on

Arista in 1977.  Sound quality offends but the crowd is ecstatic --  Go!

Go! Go!

Actually I very much like Winona as the brooding Jack, But I would

rather have Madonna as Neal, Stallone can stay as Burroughs . .

.Ginsberg--not sure--maybe Bruce Willis.

Plus which the jazz soundtrack will have to go and be replaced by some

To which you could add shots of the bloated miserable looking old Jack

        Please say that you are joking...  I have seen Chris Isaak in an acting

role and I would not call him an actor.  He is a songwriter that got an

acting bug up his ass.  Not an actor by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd rather have a great actor play a character than someone that was picked

just because they looked like the person they were portraying.  Thinking of

it...  Isaak doesn't even look a thing like Kerouac.  Kerouac was dark,

Isaak is fair, more like Cassady

 

        As for Stipe playing either role, I really cannot say.  I have never seen

him act (MTV doesn't count).  I would rather see someone with loads of

talent play a role.  Too bad most of the really good actors are too old.

Although there are some promising actors coming around.  And a lot of the

actors that are getting older can still pull it off and play a college age

role for the beginning.  I think that Depp is great.  So is Robert Downey

Jr.  As for Nicolas Cage (Someone mentioned him earlier) I really don't

know.  I know he gets good roles, but he is pretty much the same in those

roles...  He is good, but not great.

 

        Oh well...  That was my monthly posting.

 

        I think I'd be more interrested in seeing what woman were picked for the

roles.

 

        Carolyn Cassady - Eva Habermann  ( I just like looking at her, who cares

if she can act

                  {yes, call me a hipocrite, but I really like this woman})

        Joan Burroughs - Claire Forlani (Good Actress and a beautiful woman.)

        ??? - Samantha Mathis (Who cares who they make her, as long as she don't

sing)

  Haven't you heard?  Tentative titles being batted around are _On The Run_

and _On The Rice Paddy_.

  _On the Run_ is a conspiracy flick (big surprise).  The whole movie

(expected to run about four and a half hours) is shot in the backseat of a

car.  Neal and Jack have to skooch over to make room for the crazy cats that

they encounter during their adventure.  Two of these cats turn out to be the

real killers of J.F.K.  The movie ends with a shot of the driver.  He's

wearing a C.I.A. cap.  Tight shot of his hand pressing the stop button on

his hand held tape recorder.   _On The Rice Paddy_ would probably only run

three hours (this is the route that the director is expected to take).  Neal

and Jack are fleeing the Vietcong after having been sent in on a suicide

mission by (who else?) the C.I.A. when they get stuck in a rice paddy.  The

last two hours and forty five minutes of the movie would be scenes of Jack

and Neal taking turns trying to get the car out of the muck.

Subj:    jack kerouac

Date:    97-08-27 21:35:26 EDT

From:    Jjdorfner

To:      BEAT-L@cunyvm.cuny.edu

 

 

 

   Please allow me to introduce myself...my name is John J Dorfner.  I first

discovered Jack Kerouac's writing in 1973, while living in Oregon, working

for a book distributor.  This was after spending over a year hitch-hiking

around the country after being discharged from the Navy.  It was then that I

was turned on to Ann Charter's book, Kerouac.

   I made the first of many pilgrimages to Lowell in 1976, upon returning to

my hometown in upstate New York.  I wanted to see and experience the places

Kerouac wrote about in his books.  I knew this was something that had to be

done.  No question.  I had to know if the reality of Lowell would move me as

much as Kerouac's writing did.

   I spent the years from 1976-1983 periodically traveling to Lowell, working

on notes for a book and starting a family.  After we moved to Raleigh, North

Carolina in June of 1983 and settled into our new home, I drove out to Rocky

Mount.  Luckily it was only 50 miles to the east.

   In Rocky Mount I stood in the front yard of the house where Neal found

Jack that Christmas of 1948.  Jack called the town "Testament, Virginia," in O

n the Road.  I suddenly realized that the Kerouac/Cassady Road Odyssey began

right where I was standing.  That is a feeling words can't describe.  All I

can say is "what a rush!"

   The research I was able to compile in my visits there became very

important to me, as well as to many others.  The local country folks who knew

Kerouac and his family, who I was able to interview, have become my friends.

 These friendships, along with the foreword the late Allen Ginsberg composed

for my Lowell book, are things I will always cherish.

   Talking about the book, On the Road, is great, discussing it with friends

even better.  But there is nothing that beats the experience of going out on

the road, to the places where Kerouac lived, wrote and loved.

   Gathering the thoughts and photographs that came about from my

pilgrimages, I wrote a couple of books about Kerouac's life and times in

Lowell and Rocky Mount, which are available in bookstores.  If you'd like to

know more about these titles, I have blurbs listed at Bookzen.  Go to:

http://wwwbookzen.com/books/-0963604643b.html or

http://wwwbookzen.com/books/-0963604678b.html

 

or check out my homepage at

http://members.aol.com/AngelMindz/index.html

 

   I'll be in Lowell for the Lowell Celebrates Kerouac!, Festival, the first

week of October.  I'll be signing my books at the Small Press Book Fair at

Memorial Hall, Pollard Library on Saturday, October 4th from 10 a.m. to 4

p.m.  I'd love to meet any and all Beat-L people who are going to be there.

 Please come by and say hello.  There will be quite a few great Kerouac

publications to check out.

        THE KINGFISHERS         by Charles Olson

 

1

 

What does not change / is the will to change

 

He woke, fully clothed, in his bed. He

remembered only one thing, the birds, how

when he came in, he had gone around the rooms

and got them back in their cage, the green one first,

she with the bad leg, and then the blue,

the one they had hoped was a male

 

Otherwise? Yes, Fernand, who had talked lispingly of Albert &

                                                                Angkor Vat.

He had left the party without a word. How he got up, got into his

                                                                coat,

I do not know. When I saw him, he was at the door, but it did not

                                                                matter,

he was already sliding along the wall of the night, losing himself

in some crack of the ruins. That it should have been he who said

                                                                "The Kingfishers!

who cares

for their feathers

now?"

 

His last words had been, "The pool is slime." Suddenly everyone,

ceasing their talk, sat in a row around him, watched

they did not so much hear, or pay attention, they

wondered, looked at each other, smirked, but listened,

he repeated and repeated, could not go beyond his thought

"The pool       the kingfishers' feathers were wealth   why

did the export stop?"

It was then he left

 

2

 

I thought of the E on the stone, and of what Mao said

la lumiere"

        but the kingfisher

de l'aurore"

        but the kingfisher flew west

est devant nous!

        he got the color of his breast

        from the heat of the setting sun!

 

The features are, the feebleness of the feet (syndactylism of the 3rd

                                                                & 4th digit)

the bill, serrated, sometimes a pronunced beak, the wings

where the color is, short and round, the tail

inconspicuous.

 

But not these things were the factors. Not the birds.

The legends are

legends. Dead, hung up indoors, the kingfisher

will not indicate a favoring wind,

or avert the thunderbolt. Nor, by its nesting,

still the waters, with the new year., for seven days.

It is true, it does nest with the opening year, but not on the waters.

It nests at the end of a tunnel bored by itself in a bank. There,

six or eight white and translucent eggs are laid, on fishbones

not on bare clay, on bones thrown up in pellets by the birds.

 

                                On these rejectamenta

(as they accumulate they form a cup-shaped structure) the young

                                                                        are born.

And, as they are fed and grow, this nest of excrement and decayed

                                                                        fish becomes

                                        a dripping, fetid mass

Mao concluded:

                        nous devons

                                nous lever

                                        et agir!

 

3

 

When the attentions change / the jungle

leaps in

        even the stones are split

                                        they rive

 

Or,

enter

that other conqueror we more naturally recognize

he so resembles ourselves

But the E

cut so rudely on that oldest stone

sounded otherwise,

was differently heard

 

as, in another time, were treasures used:

 

(and, later, much later, a fine ear thought

a scarlet coat)

 

        "of green feathers      feet, beaks and eyes

        of gold

 

        "animal likewise,

        resembling snails

 

        "a large wheel, gold, with figures of unknown four-foots,

        and worked with tufts of leaves, weight

        3800 ounces

 

        "last, two birds, of thread and featherwork, the quills

        gold, the feet

        gold, the two birds perched on two reeds

        gold, the reeds arising from two embroidered mounds,

        one yellow, the other

        white.

                "And from each reed hung

                seven feathered tassels.

 

In this instance, the priests

(in dark cotton robes, and dirty,

their dishvelled hair matted with blood, and flowing wildly

over their shoulders)

rush in among the people, calling on them

to protect their gods

 

And all now is war

where so lately there was peace.

and the sweet brotherhood, the use

of tilled fields.

 

 

Not one death but many,

not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is

the law

        Into the same river no man steps twice

        When fire dies air dies

        No one remains, nor is, one

 

Around an appearance, one common model, we grow up

many. Else how is it,

if we remain the same,

we take pleasure now

in what we did not take pleasure before? love

contrary objects? admire and/for find fault? use

other words, feel another passions, have

nor figure, appearance, disposition, tissue

the same?

        To be in different states without a change

        is not a possibility

We can be precise. The factors are

in the animal and/or the machine the factors are

communication and/or control, both involve

the message. And what is the message? The message is

a discrete or continuous sequence of measurable events distributed

                                                                in time

 

is the birth of air, is

the birth of water, is

a state between

the origin and

birth and the beginning of

is change, presents

no more than itself

 

And the too strong grasping of it,

         Sounds good, but who to direct?

Oliver Stone used similar effects in

Natural Born Killers. Tarantino might

put an interesting spin on it, since he

has a healthy respect for anything retro.

Spielberg if you want to see Jack and Neal's car levitate off the

road/cut to a

shot of it silhouetted against the moon.

Kubrick, but how long would that take?

In fact I just got it last night at Barnes & Noble (68th St and Broadway

location)...its a beautiful book, that at first glance seems to provide a

profound, complex glimpse inside the mind and soul of Jack Kerouac.  Any

serious student of Kerouac and Beats must have this book.  I love the

cover artwork too...and the sentimental dedication to Ginsberg, for whom

the book was actually written as correspondence.

 

B&N also had the 40th anniversary OTR but that was a disappointment.

They should have reproduced the original cover and put in some annotation

and a scholarly forward or two, plus pictures.  Instead a cheap new cover

of a 40'sish car riding down a street?  Disappointing!

 

(query:  The jacket sleeve has a pic of Kerouac holding a first edition

OTR...what is in the small pic on the cover?  Is it a pic of Jack and Neal?)

You dont understand, the point would be to show that Neal was a man who

died the way he lived, that he found mystery and joy even in the most

mundane things...the beat ethic of seeing what is spiritual in

everything.  A final shot of Neal walking down the tracks, years after

OTR, older, grayer but still beat...it would fit.

I think I missed the original thread that inspired this posting.  You

might want to check out Norman Podhoretz's "My War With Allen Ginsberg,"

in the August 1997 *Commentary*.  Despite Podhoretz's occasional turgid

whining--his lament that the children of the postwar boom "refus[ed] to

take their appointed places in the world" (and his sneaky attack on

former Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox) [p. 38]--despite

Podhoretz's flaws, the article is an honest portrayal of his side of his

feud with Ginsberg.

 

Why would I bring up the article in connection with Matt's posting?

 

Much of the final half of Podhoretz's article is framed by an idea that

he only explicitly states in the final paragraph (p. 40).  In this final

paragraph, he declares that Ginsberg ultimately was "magnanimous in

victory" over Podhoretz.  But on the subject of Ginsberg's magnanimity, he

adds:  "I still cannot bring myself to forgive *him*, not even now that he

is dead."

 

Victory?  In what context?  Forgive Ginsberg . . . for what?

 

The major narrative thread in Podhoretz's essay centers on the famous

1958 meeting of Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Podhoretz in Ginsberg's

apartment.  As the evening fitfully ended, and after Ginsberg failed to

convince Podhoretz to give up his war against the growing counter-culture,

Ginsberg yelled, "We'll get you through your children!"

 

Podhoretz's lament in this essay is that he lost the culture war--that

Ginsberg "got" Podhoretz "through [his] children."

 

In an eerie, medicalized metaphor (eerie in light of Podhoretz's

emphasis on HIV when he suggests that Ginsberg's "beatification of

homosexuality" and "glorification of insanity" are reinforcing

pathologies), Podoretz suggests that Ginsberg's side won the culture

war by spreading a "spiritual plague" that indeed has grown "through

[the] children."

 

Plague?  Hardly, I'd say, when many conversations on BEAT-L assume a healthy

skepticism toward the established cultural norms that Podhoretz defends

as "good health."  And did Ginsberg really "win" the war Podhoretz

describes?  I'm not going to touch this one--in this era when, among

other things, Newt Gingrich extols advertisers to monitor and censor the

content of newspaper and magazine articles.  But seeing Podhoretz's

baleful white flag infused me with the same optimism I get from, say,

Howard Zinn.

 

The Podhoretz article is worth reading.  Maybe it's on the Web.  Thanks

to Tara from my summer poetry class for pointing me toward it.  I wanted

to bring it into BEAT-L earlier, but then became too busy.

o.k. o.k. you're probably right.  i only saw Isaak act for 2 minutes as a

walk on part in some stupid sitcom i dont even watch.  i hope you know you

just bursted my bubble...cuz i still think he looks just like Kerouac-he can

always dye his hair you know.   i have never seen Stipe act either but i

know he has acted in a movie, not just MTV.  all i know is that i'd rather

have Isaak than Nicholas Cage, or Sean Penn. Depp is the best suggestion ive

heard so far.   how about Vincent Gallo for Dean-has anyone seen him with

short hair? also Paul Hipp-watch The Funeral!  maybe there just shouldnt be

an OTR movie.  maybe we could fit Emily Watson in as one of the woman

roles-she's a great actress.

I think the quote was from Kerouac to Ed Sanders and delivered on the

talk show "Firing Line" hosted by William F. Buckley.  I think Ginsberg was

in the audience so it may have been directed at him too--maybe only him.

#1--Joan Haverty was Bill Canastra's girlfriend at the time of his death,

was she not?

so I've heard.  Although they couldn't be helped.

 look at the pony!

rinaldo: so happy to get this today. i have been thinking of ginsberg's

poem 'supermarket in california' i believe, and felt his presence when i

had to go to store with waning store of monies: i wanted to shout: poems

for pears, poems for peaches, poems for the life of us all. but instead i

bought what i could afford and left.

i think i've shoeveled thru the shit and no pony there.

but then, here you come, with your wonder and all.

thanks

Ever since he stopped playing characters and started playing leads

in rotten films, after scoring in Leaving Las Vegas, I've lost my

fondness totally for Nicholas Cage.  I don't see him as a lead, and

don't like Hollywood jamming him down my throat just because he got

the Oscar.  He's an edgy character actor who has been ruined, and

I don't want anything to do with him anymore.  I think Penn is too

strong to play either role.

John,

I appreciate your position, i learned to set my subscription to include

my posts because it helps me know if i or some server garbled the

message.  I have usually regretted offending people unless i have some

point to make but this list is a rough and tumble one.  I got blasted

because I twitted someone for asking for help on some homework.  I don't

actually want to be a valuable resource that some professor can give his

earnest student.

well, your home page looked to much like an advertisement,  tell me,

what was the most interesting thing about meeting Jacks old friends.

what surprised you.. when i went to lowell i didn't enter a bar that

didn't have a pic of him there swigging.

So I was talking to you guys about finding Some of the Dharma.  I figured

Barnes and

Noble should have it but i hadn't seen it anywhere in the store (or in

Supercrown for

that matter).  So I called B&N.

 

Do you have a book called Some of the Dharma?

 

Um let's see...I don't see it...who's the author?

 

Jack Kerouac.  It's new just out.

 

Oh yes, OK, but it's got a different name.

(So I'm thinking somehow she's mixing it up with the 40th OTR edition)

 

She says: It's called Some of the Dharma.

 

Isn't that what I said?

 

I thought you said sum of the dharma.  Do you want me to hold it for you?

 

(I say where is it, she says in the literature section.  I say no you don't

need to

hold a copy I can find it.  So I go there later.  I read an article in New

Republic

about the Korean defector [not the two that defected the other day buty the

one from

last spring] and how he's being ignored in what he's saying by the press and

the Clinton administration.  They're ignoring him because his info doesn't

jibe with what the Clinton administration is saying about their progress

with N. Korea and their overall

plans.

 

So I finish that and there's about 15 minutes til the store closes.  I go to

the

Kerouac section and no book.  They do have OTR 40th anniversary issue

though.  So I

look everywhere it might be.  Biography, eastern thought, new fiction, new

non-fiction on the displays--no where.  So finally I decide to ask, but I

don't see any workers

buzzing about.  "Buy your purchases" says the PA. I see a worker.  Ask her

if they have Some of the Dharma.)

 

Let me check.  She goe to the computer.  Types in Son of the Dharma (spells

dharma

right).

 

No, Some of the Dharma.

 

Oh, sorry, she types in Sum of the Dharma.

 

No no I say, some s-o-m-e some

 

Oh.  Types in Some of the Dharma.  Yeah we have seven copies.  I'll find it.

 

(So she goes and looks in the Kerouac section.  Not there of course.  And

then to the

new fiction, new non-fiction, everywhere i've been looking.  Can't find it.

I follow

her around.  Finally she asks another worker at the front desk.  This other

gal has

heard of it.  She knows it's a big book.  She looks--where else, everywhere

we've

looked.  Looks on the displays ect...finally she says watch my register [to

the other

worker, not me] and I'll look in the back)

 

She does finally come back with two copies and hands them to me.

 

I think i just need one, I say.

this sounds very much like similar experiences i've had with anything

bookstore/Kerouac related.  also, shouldn't a book as precious as a

new-release of Kerouac be difficult to find?  makes it all the more

special.

i got mine at a bookstore in Oregon, but i'm sure a lot of music stores

carry it now. after listening to it many times, i have to say i think it

was worth the money. Ginsberg and another guy (who reads the last chorus)

reading Brooklyn Bridge Blues is awesome. Hunter Thompson, L. Ferlingetti

and Burroughs all sound great, and a lot of the rest of it is good, though

there are some loser tracks on the disc.

I bought it locally (Vermont), and saw it everywhere in stores here to San

Diego this summer. My problem was finding it on cassette, but that's

becoming more the rule, unfortunately. Anyway, I like it, especially the

Morphine cut which kicks it off, Lydia Lunch, WSB, HST and John Cale. The

packaging is pretty nice, too.

        Music that was an influence on the beats specificly Jack and Neal at

that time would have to include the stuff that Parker and the bop guys were

doing on the east coast and from their letters, when they were on the west

coast, the sounds of Chet Baker.The improv of Parkers playing from night to

night had an influence on the form of Jack's writing especially.

How often did Jack see jazz shows, Parker et al, during this period?

In reply to Michael Stutz:

        "How often did Jack see jazz shows, Parker et al, during this period?"

...and Ron Kovach:

        "What's the story on the recording 'Kerouac'?"

 

        You have to recall that during the late forties and right through to

the fifties, live jazz in NYC was everywhere - and top calibre. From the

boigraphies one would say that Jack was seeing lots of jazz out in the clubs

and Parker whenever he could. That's probably true from his time at Horace

Mann in the late thirties right through his "Subterraneans" period.

 

        Off list Ron Kovach and I were talking about the recording "Kerouac"

which featured Charlie Christian and Dizzy Gillespie. It was recorded in

1941 I think, and Thomas Owens (I think I previously referred to him as Owen

Thomas when talking about his book "Bebop"), a musicologist out in

California at El Camino College, described as one of the first examples of

someone (Gillespie) reaching towards what would become bebop.

 

        The story that Gerry Nicosi tells about the name is that a friend of

Kerouac's from Horace Mann, Seymour Wyse, introduced Jack to Jerry Newman,

who had for years been taking his recording equipment into clubs in Harlem

to record. It was Newman who suggested to Gillespie that he name one of his

arrangements "Kerouac". Dizzy didn't know Jack, but liked the name better

than "Ginsberg"!  [Memory Babe by Gerald Nicosi - pages 124-125; Grove Press

1983] Newman's recordings from those and later years are still in hot

circulation.

 

        I would enthusiastically recommend recordings that feature any of

Parker's small group playing from '43 through '48. You get great

combinations of players and all the seminal bebop there was....Gillespie

playing piano accompaniment, Slim Gaillard, Bud Powell, lots of Miles Davis,

Dodo Marmarosa, Wardell Grey (..hey Preston!), Howard McGhee, Max Roach,

Tiny Grimes and Don Byas.

Hi,

you see fit (it is a WIN3.1 MS Excel file - let me know if you need a

different format).

friends,

 

let me quote Walter Campbell:

"Maybe Snyder gets short-changed because

of his "man of the mountains" persona.

That's one of the many paradoxes of the Beat movement: the

urban, erudite east-coast leg of the Beat movement seems antithetical

to the laid-back, naturalistic bent of the California clan."

 

saluti,

Rinaldo.

reading with Parker in the background though I've never been able to verify

it.

Subject:      happy birthday, bird

 

Before the day is out and all this discussion moves away from Charley Parker,

I just want to say today is Bird's birthday... so get out your old scratched

up vinyl and listen to this genius.

 

For everyone in the Seattle area, this is Bumbershoot weekend... the annual

rain festival (with hilariously faux-pagan roots... a long story). On

Saturday at the Seattle Center there will be many hours devoted to a program

called the Bebop Revival.

 

On that same note, a bit of historical trivia (so trivial you'll probably

wonder why I even mentioned it): Don Lanphere, from Wenatchee, Washington

(where I used to live... insert joke here), was a child prodigy on the sax in

the 30s and 40s. His dad owned Belmont Music Store (named after Belmont

Shores) and was one of the earliest subscribers to Down Beat magazine, which

little Don read from cover-to-cover and ordered 78s out of the listings in

the back.

 

Don ended up in New York, living with Charley's "woman" Chan on 52nd Street

for a while, and got into the same old habits all all the rest of them. He

ran with Bird and Fats and everyone else, shared needles, did time, and was

responsible for recording many of the tapes that came out of those years that

were eventually made into the records of sessions and sold on various labels.

 

I met Don when I was 13 (33 years ago), and he had toned down his heroin use

in favor of alcohol and the drugs of the Sixties. In 1969, he had a religious

conversion (the Jesus Freeks came to town and saved everyone they could get

their hands on) and gave up jazz for a while, afraid it might have been part

of his problems.

 

He finally figured out it wasn't evil or sinful to be a jazz musician, and

went back to his horn. He moved to Seattle a bunch of years ago and has a

Monday morning radio show on KBCU, the college station out of Bellevue, where

he carries on with Bud (god... i forgot bud's last name), proprietor of Bud's

Jazz Records in Pioneer Square (just off Jackson Street, where jazz was born

and lived in Seattle), playing bebop and all that other good stuff. He also

teaches, travels, and still records one album a year.

 

Also, Fats Navarro's daughter, Linda, who inherited her father's penchant for

junk, lives in Seattle and has been profiled here in the media a coupla

times. She still struggles with a heroin habit.

 

So, the local NPR jazz affiliate is playing Bird all day, and tomorrow, bebop

at the Seattle Center... man... what a weekend.

 

Happy birthday, Bird.

Anybody out there know the answer to James' question?  That would be a

gripping Holy Grail to go after!

i love Gary Oldman!!!!!! not to mention Dracula..he's the greatest actor.

but do you really think he's so good that he could turn into someone like

Kerouac? im so used to Oldman playing the bad guy.  im positive he'd be an

improvement from Keanu, Penn or Cage though.

Rinaldo, on this line, I am sure they came through South Carolina.  But,

I would have thought that Macon would be Macon, Gerogia.  I will have to

look to see if we have a Macon in South Carolina.

Thanks for the reminder, diane! Put on some of the old scratchy vinyl last

night after reading your message and then sat outside in front of a small

campfire, jupiter, milky way, countless stars above and Birds sax drifting

out skyward from the open window.

I'm listening now to "Bird is Free' "recorded in early 1950 at a

concert-dance in New York City by a close friend." Maybe Don?

Synchronisity. Just happened to have it on when reading your note.

 

And in Gerry's "Memory Babe" page 207 he writes of Parker and Kerouac and

Symphony Sid, the Royal Roost club and how "Bird was certainly Jack's

favorite jazzman."

 

It all connects through time, space and creativity.

It has taken me a week to get back to you on this, but what I found

illuminating in your analysis was that Burroughs words are a key INTO the

pre-recorded universe and can serve as a guide for understanding as

opposed to a map or way out of the pre-recorded universe.  Does that then

mean that cut-ups lead to new ways of seeing and understanding, that they

are in fact "happy accidents?"  It seems to boil down to the fact that if

Burroughs believed in a one-God universe, it was conversely a God playing

with creation in the same way that Burroughs as a writer created and

played with his universe of words.

Back to the Joselito scene that I still fail to comprehend, I think.  The

humor part for me comes when he says,

"The doctor grabs Carl's cock, leaping into the air with a coarse peasant

gaffaw.  His European smile ignores the misbehavior of a child or an

animal.  He goes on smoothly in his eerily unaccented, disembodied

English. 'Our Old Faithful Bacillus Koch.' The doctor clicks his heels

and bows his head. 'Otherwise they would multiply their stupid peasant

asshole into the sea, is it not?' He shrieks, thrusting his face into

Carl's.  Carl retreats sideways with the grey wall of rain behind him."

 

Definitely a far cry from Carol Burnett.

I picked it up the only two copies at a local record shop in Omaha.  If

you avoid the chain stores and find a speciaalty record shop with a good

spoken word section, you shouldn't have any problem.  And it is great.  A

 Allen, William, Michael Stipe, Richard Lewis and many more all do a

great job. (Everyone except Julianna Hatfield, who must die.  She does

"Silly Goofball Poems" and everytime it is on in my apartment, my friends

and I make a mad dash to the cd player to skip the track when it comes

up.)  (Goes along witht he theory that all great compilation cds must

Good luck.  I think you will enjoy.

I don't know if any of you out there are familiar with Phish, but I just

got back from following them for the last month and at the Buffalo, New

hung out in the lots before the show and performed with Phish during the

I was lamenting the fact that I never met either Ginsberg or Burroughs

Kesey.  It was amazing to see Kesey and Phish come together on stage.  It

almost felt like a Dead show  that night.

Subject:      Rinaldo: Books into movies, additions to your List

Comments: cc: 74067.3712@compuserve.com

 

Dear Rinaldo:

 

I agree with your choices of films that did justice to, or even, as in the

case of "The Shining", were better than, the books from which they were

derived.  In my opinion (and this is indeed a highly opinionated topic, a

matter of individual taste and perspective) there are 3 basic categories of

films made from books.  The vast majority are to one degree or another

failures, unsuccessfully condensing & evoking the books.  Some are noble

failures (like the film version of NAKED LUNCH), and it's not surprising that

most films fall short of the daunting task of translating a different and in

some ways deeper medium- the untranslatable, apples into oranges.  In the

second category, one out of perhaps 100 efforts take on a life of their own,

departing from the books to a large extent and standing by themselves,

achieving the status of works in their own right, sometimes superior to or in

any case inspired beyond the books they are loosely based on.  "The Shining"

is such a film, and another Kubrick classic, his version of Nabokov's LOLITA,

is another- I found the experiences of reading the book and watching the

movie totally different, but both very satisfying.  "White Mischief"

completely departs from the factual account of the twilight of decadent

British colonial arstocracy in Kenya on which it is loosely based, and is an

overlooked gem of character study (especially of the cuckolded nobleman

played by Joss Ackland) not quite buried in digressive Hollywood glitz.  The

third and rarest category is that of films that so closely capture the spirit

of the books they are based on that the experience of either reading the book

or watching the movie is almost identical.  I am aware of only 2 films that I

think fall into this category-  "Midnight Cowboy", based on the novel by

James Leo Herlihy, and "The Day of the Locust", based on the novel by

Nathaniel West.  Both were directed by John Schlesinger, who ironically has

captured quintessentially American stories although he is British.  If you

have not already, I urge you to read and see both versions of both works.

 

As long as I'm on the subject of Herlihy and West, I think that they should

be added to your list-in-progress.  Neither are squarely in the Beat category

technically, but if Malcolm Lowry is on the list, so should they be.  West

died in 1940, but his works, especially MISS LONELYHEARTS and THE DAY OF THE

LOCUST, evoke an unblinkingly truthful view of the American Nightmare that is

a foundation and precursor of the Beat vision.  The same is true of Herlihy,

I have only read MIDNIGHT COWBOY by him but it is a courageous masterpiece.

 It is almost contemporary with Selby's LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN, with which it

closely relates. The common thread among these authors and the Beats is the

discarding of societal norms and illusions (in West & Herlihy's case they set

up characters who believe in and depend on media-induced illusions and are

then destroyed or at least greatly hurt by the truth behind them), and,

sometimes, the possibility of redemption by the attainment of real human

connections and values beyond the chasing of mirages.  Speaking of Lowry &

Selby, I would consider the film versions of UNDER THE VOLCANO and LAST EXIT

TO BROOKLYN both barely making it into the second category, failing to evoke

the cinematically unevokable spirit of the great works on which they are

based, but worthwhile separately on their own terms.

 

I agree with Diane De Rooy that ON THE ROAD and the Beats in general "can't

be done on film", it isn't likely that this new upcoming effort will beat the

statistics, especially if the usual currently popular crop of actors and

directors control it.  I would vote for Schlesinger to come closest to the

actual book, or David Lynch and maybe a few others to create something

separate from it but worthy in itself.  I am friends with a local young

artist and film director, James Bonner, who I believe could successfully

tackle a Beat subject.  He is interested in the lives and works of the Beats,

but is now concentrating on writing original scripts to direct.

 

Regards,

 

Arthur

Here's yet another bit of Bird trivia. A few years back, I was working in one

of the last Womrath chains of bookstores in NYC (1989) located on Madison

Avenue and East 84th Street. One day I aswered the phone and haerd an elderly

voice say, "this is the Baronese of Weehawken!" Thinking it was a freind

calling and trying to fug with my mind, I said something stupid like, "amd I'm

the Duke of Vice," and hung up. A few minutes later she called back, "this is

the Baronese..." So this time I got the owner who said, "oh, the Baronese!"

I was later told that the woman calling was a patron of the arts, the very

woman in whose apartment on Fifth Ave (in the Stanhope, I think it was) where

the Bird died.

 

Does anybody know anything about the Baronese (Baronesse?) of Weehawken, or was

the whole world just friggin with my head?

The films of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and The English Patient

are BETTER than the books they were based on.  I'm sure these are not

the only instances of films that are better than material they were

adapted from.  John Von Druten's play of isherwood's Berlin Stories

is its equal, and Cabaret is an improvement.

Subject:      Jim Carroll & Jack

 

Forgive me if I'm rehashing old news, but I'm only a few months new to the

List... Anyhow, that aside, I was perusing the net  this morning and happened

upon THE BOOKSMITH Bookstore site where there's an interview posted with the

brilliant Jim Carroll (interviewed by Thomas Gladysz). At the tail end of the

script, Carroll talks about his first meeting w/ Kerouac, shortly before his

death...

 

>>>> "It was hard to get past Kerouac's wife, you know. Guys would

come to visit him all the time. He didn't like hippies, and he was real

conservative toward the end of his life. His wife kept anyone away from the

door who came to make this pilgrimage type of thing with a copy of On the

Road. If she did let you in, he might wind up getting high and go on a three

day

drunk, and she wanted to prevent that at all cost. Ted had trouble getting in

the

first time he went up there. This was with Aram Saroyan and Duncan

McNaughton, I think, to do The Paris Review interview.

Coming back from Maine - where we were staying with this guy from the Fugs,

Lee Crabtree - Ted and I were hitchhiking down the coast to Cambridge to do a

reading. We were not too far from Lowell, so Berrigan said, "Let's stop off

and

see Jack." We got there and his wife was very nice and let us in. But he was

in

bad shape and very crotchety. It really didn't go well except that he had

read The

World, this mimeographed magazine from St. Marks. It was a poetry magazine,

except that they had this prose issue. The story usually goes that he read

them

(The Basketball Diaries) in The Paris Review, but that didn't come out until

after he died. What I did was send him the manuscript.

He liked me in a certain way - maybe because I wasn't too hippie-ish. This

was

a time in his life when he was advocating William F. Buckley for president -

so

you can't really trust the things he was saying. Politics was one thing with

him,

he was on surer ground with his writing.

I got to see him again in New York, between six and eight months before he

died. He had to come into New York once in a while to see his agent. He was

at

Larry Rivers' house, and of course he was surrounded by all his old friends.

I

went up to him, and he said he had gotten the manuscript. He said he would

write me a letter of introduction. I didn't want to publish the book then. I

wanted

to establish myself not as a street writer, but as a poet. What he was

essentially

doing was giving me a blurb. When I did decide to publish The Basketball

Diaries, Anne Waldman solicited a blurb from Burroughs for the jacket of the

original edition.

Kerouac sent me this letter, and said, if your publisher wants a blurb, here.

I feel

funny about blurbs. Myself, I don't like to use them. But now, I get sent

books

from people who want blurbs, and I feel like I should reciprocate. Maybe it

is

bad form not to, but I usually don't do it. I try to avoid it. Certainly,

that quote

from Kerouac has been wonderful for me. I feel he was being very generous. I

know he wouldn't have written it if he hadn't liked the work; I think he felt

I was

carrying on a certain spirit that was influenced by him. He thought I was

carrying

a torch, and in a spiritual sense, I was.

I hadn't in fact read Kerouac when I wrote The Basketball Diaries. I didn't

read

On the Road or even Dharma Bums. I read The Town and The City first, which

was his first novel and pretty straightforward in form. I hadn't read him and

I

hadn't read Burroughs - but I had read Ginsberg by the time I got to the

middle

part of the book as well as Frank O'Hara and John Ashberry and all the poets

in

the Donald Allen anthology.<<<<

John Turturro as Allen Ginsberg, Christopher Walken as Old Bull Lee. Julia

It has to be understood that any film version of a novel can only contain

parts of that novel.  Thats why they are called adaptations.  I saw a

copy of the early script for OTR last year (a street vendor in the

village regularly sells movie scripts and had an OTR one).  It seemed

good but many of you wouldnt like it if overly devoted to the book.

 

The movie is going to focus almost entirely on the Sal/Dean story.

Consequently most of part one of OTR will not be in the film.  The story

of Kerouac's first trip west, Cheyenne, Denver, working as a guard in

Frisco, living in the fields picking cotton with the mexican girl Terry.

All great scenes, but no Neal/Dean in them, so not likely to make the cut

in a two hour movie.  Terry, Minnesota Slim, Remi Bonceur etc are also

all extraneous characters that would be too confusing and for which there

would be no time in a two hour film to flesh them out.

 

Consequently it remains to be seen if there is a way to do justice to OTR

in two hours.  The script I saw focuses almost entirely on Sal, Dean, and

Carlo Marx (the Ginsberg character), and enlarges the role of the

Old Bull Lee (Burroughs) character.  In fact the first scenes in the

script are of those four characters in NYC, when Cassady first arrives

(an inaccuracy since Burroughs was already on the run from NYC by then

and living in Texas)

 

But any movie adaptation has to take literary license like that.  Lets

just hope that Coppola does it well.

Took a trip over to the venerable Strand used book store today.  In rare

book dept, they have two interesting items:

 

1. A first edition, in excellent condition btw, of "Town and the City"

   Looks like new but lacks dust jacket.  $70  Interesting because the author

   is listed as "John Kerouac"

 

2. A first edition of a scholarly beat book I'd never heard of from the

   late 50's called "Holy Barbarians" by Lawrence Lipton.  Anyone ever read

   this?.  Most of the major beat writers are quoted or interviewed in

   it.  Jack Kerouac is a glaring absence though.  He is rarely even referred

   to except in an interview with Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, who mention

   Kerouac in every answer to every question.  Since this book was likely

   only written because of OTR popularity, I can only surmise that Kerouac

   refused to cooperate with the project and the author punished him by

   virtually writing him out of his beat history.

 

 

I had no money to buy this book so Im interested in hearing if anyone has

read it.  Lipton had a generational age difference with the beat subjects

he wrote about so just from flipping through it, it seems like he might

have viewed it more as a cult and one-time social phenomenon than

anything potentially lasting.  But as I said I havent read it.

Don Lanphere began playing the saxophone at the age of eight after listen=

Recorded June 1950 at Jimmy Knepper's home, New York:

Mike, I would differ on this, admittedly far from beat thread. The Sally

Bowles of "Stories" is a much richer character than the fluffy feel good

girl of Cabaret.  The "Stories", as stories, have less structure, but

are incomparably more honest about that peculiar time before Hitler and

about humanity.

 

Did like Arthur's take on Lolita.  I love that film, but I don't think

it stands quite on the same level as the book.

It has been too long since I looked at this book to remember it well.

Lipton was a significant precense on the LA scene--in a way an analogy

to  Rexroth in SF.    Holy Barbarians was one of those attempts by

someone with some academic connections to explain Beat to the squarer

academic world--like Parkinson's Casebook on the Beat.

 

LA beat, Venice Beat, has always gotten sort of short shrift since

Ginsberg so completely owned the movement from a public relations point

of view.

Hey, dyslecix, how about Bill Murray in a few bit parts and Judge

Rheinhold (sp) was good as a straight man in both Fast Times and with

Eddie in Beverly Hills cops.  It could be their reunion.  And Eddie

could take off on a car chase, and then, they could just keep going. And

it could go down the same street Bullet did.  Yeah, put them in a Shelby

GT.  That's good.  Maybe even, Steve McQueen, well, I know he's dead,

but with that blueing stuff, they could paste him in.  So, I think Eddie

Murphy would be great!

 

Opps, I may be the only one, but I would rather analyze Naked Lunch that

The book is a novel (fiction). The character is Sal Paradise. It is not Jack

Kerouac. I think it is possible that a movie can be made of On The Road that

will inspire a new generation of people by showing the character's outlook on

life, just like the book did.

 

The book On The Road is just a written recording of how Jack viewed his own

life. People often mistake it for gospel. I think Jack wrote about honesty of

emotions, not honesty of events.

 

However, I also think that it is more likely that the movie will suck because

they may be more concerned with making a blockbuster, rather then a great

movie. The point is to make a movie that stands the test of time. I don't

care who the star of the movie is. I think they should pick unknowns, don't

try to make a "Hip" movie, and let the story stand on it's own merits.

 

It took years for Its A Wonderful Life to find its audience. I would rather

find a small audience for the movie in the beginning that grows as the years

go by. I wouldn't want the same audience that loves Stallone and Arnold

Schwartzinegger (what ever his name is) to love On The Road.

Two other movies, besides One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, that I think

Slaughter House 5. These are two smaller, slightly eccentric movies that

capture the essence of the the novel. Slaughter House Five captures a very

difficult subject, time travel. Are Heller and Vonnegut beat?

Subject:      DHARMA beat, A Jack Kerouac Newszine

 

Hello:

 

DHARMA beat, a Jack Kerouac publication, will be publishing the fall issue in

October (issue 9).

 

We are looking for Kerouac related events to list in our Kerouac Calender. If

you are having a Kerouac reading, or commemoration of his life, or film

festival, or anything that includes Kerouac, please forward information

related to the event (name, time, place, telephone number, description of

event). Looking for events starting October 1.

 

We are always looking for articles on or about Kerouac's life and writing.

Please send any ideas that you may have.

 

And if you have an interesting On The Road story, please let me know. Like

the first time you read it, what happened as a result, etc.

 

thanks and enjoy, Attila

 

The following is general information about DHARMA beat (previously e mailed).

 

DHARMA beat is a newszine (newsletter) that is published twice a year about

Kerouac's life and writing. Issue 8 (Spring 1997) was recently published. We

publish information of interest about Kerouac events and happenings around

the world. The most recent issue has an article about Kerouac living in Ozone

Park, New York; an article about Jack's sister Nin; and Allen Ginsberg

provided two dreams that he had where he's talking with Kerouac. Ginsberg

wrote :

 

"Poetry America was born before us & will live after us -- and would've been

visible for every eye to see but for the scientists of poetry & sociologists

of Academy measuring the vast mind with monkey calipers & teaspoons of ink

--"

 

DHARMA beat is published twice a year, spring and fall. Subscriptions are

$7.00 per year (two issues, make checks payable to DHARMA beat), $10 to

Canada and overseas (payable in US dollars or equivalent foreign currency).

Sample copies are available for $3.00. Mail to DHARMA beat, PO BOX 1753,

Lowell MA, 01853-1753. For more information e mail to KEROUACZIN@AOL.COM

 

We are always looking for articles and information about any Kerouac related

item you may have (for example if you have a Kerouac Poetry reading

celebrating his birth or passing) or anything related. Our main purpose is to

let people know about what's going on. The next issue will focus on the 40th

anniversary of the publication of On The Road. If you have a story, or know

some tidbit of information, please let us know (I don't really like using the

word 'Tidbit' but now I'm stuck with it).

thanks and enjoy, Attila

Hi Attila, since I have so much to choose from recently it has delayed my

publication (change of cover, added text etc.). I will have it ready for the

Kerouac Festival. The rates are $5.00 (USA) $7.00 (overseas and Canada).

Vol. I, No.2 will be between 40 to 50 pages.I don't take full-year

subscriptions as yet until I can get on a stable publishing pattern. Take

care and thanks, Paul...

Arthur, Mike & James e others friends,

 

the list of "who is better" is useful, thanks from

the people who cant' read the original at first,

i.e. i read "On The Road" in 1969 in an italian

translation, (not Ginsberg 'cuz of poetry is aside documented).

i think that falling in love in Beat Lit is a matter who is

over the stricted US world, but i apologie in advance

if some myself consideration can seem to encroach on yr

own territory. please friends, have a little faint smile

for the european side of the world...

 

1.

"Blade Runner" by Ridley Scott. William S. Burroughs had

written the first screenplay and WSB & BR are/was for me

a couple inseparable inprinting. the beginning of the movie is the

best futuristic image ever seen. the city with rain like

tears is matched only by the unforgettable William Gibson's

phrase "the sky above the port was the color of a tv tuned

to a dead channel" (Neuromancer), Gibson had his credits

to William Burroughs (in an interview speakin' of his novel

Virtual Light).

 

2.

"Der Amerikanische Freund" director Wim Wenders (1977) was

from the novel "Ripley's Game" by Patricia Highsmith's

& is very great. Dennis Hopper, Man Ray & the good feeling stay

in my mind forever. Perhaps Wim Wender is near the beat in his

photographic works, his photos are sometime the best image:

John Lurie's kiss photo in Soho (black & white photo) &

Hollywood Bvd with star that "had the power!", & "Musso and Franks"

restaurant, "The Twin City Theatre", et cetera talk to me beat.

 

3.

"La strategia del ragno" by Bernardo Bertolucci from the Jorge

Luis Borges' short story is a must. i know that Bertolucci has

a little to do with beat, but his 2th film "last tango in paris"

was censored & the film burned & for a time Bertolucci 'cuz of the

movie he lost his political rights.

 

thanks again friends for yr patience,

Rinaldo.

 My apologies, Patricia, Bentz, Randy. As a weekend beatnik these days I

come in a little late. I don't want to prolong the thread, but I do believe

that something that Richard Wallner suggested needs clarification. He

pictured on this thread Neal's last walk on the railroad tracks, as a

greying man but with joy in his heart in the now, as always. Richard's

authoritative stance might lead some folks to believe that is how it was.

Well, not to my recollection.

 

One of the main reasons that I joined this list was my fascination with how

myths are created. I was especially interested in what was being said about

my good friend Neal whom I knew very well in the last nine years of his

life.

 

 I learned that facts, especially as they recede into history, are  no match

for deeply held wishes and beliefs. Still, here is also my opportunity to

let you know what I saw. You don't have to give up any belief that you

prefer to hold, you can always remind yourself that even the perceptions of

eyewitnesses can have their vagaries, but I don't have an invested interest

to revise history. Let me tell you what I saw.

 

It is true that I have to strain my memory about the greying part. It might

be playing tricks on me. Still, I have never noticed any  greying in Neal.

If he was beginning to get grey hair, it was not noticeable to me. And I saw

him a lot in the last nine years of his life. Not at all. Nor did I see any

signs of worry over losing physical fitness or agility. Up until his last

trip to Mexico. He did not present a picture of a man who is getting weighed

down by his age. He was only about forty two years old.

 

Graying or not, he was not a happy trooper on his last trip to Mexico. He

stopped to see me on his way and talked feverishly for hours about how he

was not comfortable in Oregon, how he had expected that the lady that he

expected was going to stay with him decided to go east with Ginzburg's

entourage instead. He seemed to be on speed which might have been hiding his

despondency. He was very animated and the fire in his eyes

was intense. He was not joyous. He was desperate. Very frustrated. A man who

was not comfortable in any of the scenes he was revisiting. He was hoping to

find something to lift his spirits in Mexico, but at the moment, everything

that he counted on was failing him.

 

Neal stopped to see most of the friends that he could find on the way to his

last trip to Mexico. He visited John Bryant for example in LA. John thinks

in retrospect that Neal might have been hoping that someone would stop him,

would throw him a lifeline.  He didn't see it at the time. At the time it

just seemed that Neal was asking for impossible things, like could he borrow

John's car  for the trip to Mexico! It was a man in despair who was going to

Mexico, not a man with joy in his heart rushing to embrace the mysteries of

life.

 

BTW in happier times Neal took me to John Bryant's house when he was laying

out on his living room floor the first issue of the San Francisco Open City

Press. Neal was the subject of that  the first free alternative publication

in San Francisco. Later John moved to Los Angeles where he published his

paper until he joined the Los Angeles Free Press.

Leon:

 

I am very interested in your comments on Neal.  Thanks for this post.  I

was going to write you an email and ask you to comment on music in

Neal's life.  Before I had read On the Road, etc, I read Electric

Kool-Aid Acid Test.  So, my first image of Neal came from that.  He

impressed me as a speed freak who was on the way to oblivion. Sort of

like some of the depressed and burnt out speed freaks I had met.  It

seemed he was living in the past.

 

Then, I read all of Kerouac's books and saw him as a "genius" who was

burning like a supernova and too fast and frantic.  But a "frustrated"

one who could talk, but not write what he could talk.

 

The music in the acid test was not jazz and I guess was embryonic

Greatful Dead.  I know that Jack liked Jazz music.  But what about the

blues.  Jack of course used blues in titles etc.  But did Neal listen to

music like Jack did?  If so, did he relate to the Blues.  I can somehow

see Neal more with blues than jazz.  Thanks for your oral history.  It

wasn't just another who will play Neal, it was about Neal the man and

the myth.  This is worth its weight in gold to me.

 

Last point, but to stand accused by myself of my cry to stop the Movie

thread, if we have to discuss Senn Penn, what about Sean as Sal, and

reunite him with Madonna and let her play Dean.  Then it could be a

musical like Evita.  Then Madonna could win her Oscar!!!!  Sorry, but

the mere sick image of Penn and Madonna together, etc, overwhelmed me

and after some back channel posts on this, I had to lay it out there!

And this sounds like the blues to me.

> leon

 

Part of my problem is that I will not go see the Doors movie, I will not

go see the Hendrix movie and unless Leon, Charles P, James S and Gerry

Nicosia all four tell me that I HAVE to see OTR, I will not watch it

either.  I'd rather see reruns of 77 Sunset Strip or whatever that tv

series was.

leon , lo and behold this thread yeilds gold.    deeply appreciated you

sharing your memory of Neal. I am stunned by how hard it is to glean

truth from fiction.  I knew William pretty well, years ago at a party

here in lawrence i heard a guy say that William was crippled and his leg

was gangrenous from shooting up.  I said that was nonsense. He said it

was not, that he needed a cane just to walk.. Well i argued some more

and he said it is a fact. well i had been outwalked that very day by

that old man.  We had walked about 3 miles. We had gone to some land I

owned by the Kaw River, where I once had a demolition landfill.  It was

populated with wild turkey, kpot, and wonderous animals, on a wide bend

of the river. It was a great place.  William hiked all over it.  The guy

told me i was lying to cover up. I gently told him he was a shit, more

interested in attention and mean heartedness than i could stand. But the

myths abound, people imagine and then can't tell that to say something

,you should know something.  Like some guy indicated that William

dressed like the blues brothers.  It was weird, where he got that.

William would dress in khaki when shooting, denims at some events. and

beautifully at others.  I care not about fashion but even I was sent by

some of his  style.  The only thing i would notice is sometime he would

spill something at dinner, grab the salt shake and pour it on the spot.

I appreciate your story about Neal.  It doesn't matter to some people

that these are real people and that their vulnerable sides help create

me the same story , slightly different three or four, or a dozen times.

In a message dated 97-08-31 12:32:32 EDT, in response to Richard's artistic

license while story-boarding the OTR movie, Leon Tabory wrote:

 

<<  He pictured on this thread Neal's last walk on the railroad tracks, as a

 Well, not to my recollection.

 

 One of the main reasons that I joined this list was my fascination with how

 myths are created. I was especially interested in what was being said about

 my good friend Neal whom I knew very well in the last nine years of his

 life.

 

  I learned that facts, especially as they recede into history, are  no match

 for deeply held wishes and beliefs. Still, here is also my opportunity to

 let you know what I saw. You don't have to give up any belief that you

 prefer to hold. >>

 

And without saying it, Leon has said it all.

 

Leon knew Neal. He knew him from his own point of view. He may have, in fact,

known the "real" Neal. Or he may have only known a facet of Neal, or he may

have known the Neal he wanted to know.

 

The point here is that filmmakers fictionalize and structure human dynamics

to fit into 97 minutes with musical soundtracks. That's not life. That's not

real. That's art, and plenty of liberties are taken.

 

For me, and for many others whose lives overlapped (at least in the time

frame) the lives of Jack and Neal and Allen, there is a context that cannot

be communicated in film. Driving a 1949 Hudson because it's a car, not

because it's a collector's item, seeking out Negro jazz in parts of town

where whites don't go because black people are segregated, kept apart from

whites in every sense by law, listening to the only AM station you can pick

up outside a city, only at night when the ionosphere is lower and the signal

comes in clear and being amazed at the lyrics which you understand but your

parents don't, lurking in diners and bars sneaking cigarettes, fucking in the

back seat of a car out in the woods where no one goes... no one... ever...

hearing about marijuana as "reefer madness," understanding the division

between "nice" girls and "good" girls in hushed tones and knowing glances,

but never using words to speak those differences, when all the boys wanted to

be James Dean and a "hood" wasn't an abbreviation for a neighborhood... and

most of us were either innocent, naive, or buying into lies, before

assassinations were de rigeur, before anyone believed in political

conspiracies, when McCarthy and Hoover and Nixon could be assholes right out

in public and get majority support... this is about 1/1000ths of what the

'40s and '50s and early '60s felt like.

 

The problem I always see in film that tries to recreate a period (and what's

the point if you don't recreate it?) is that nuance can only be understood by

someone who is able to suspend disbelief about the reality of the period. How

can some actor, born in the late Sixties or early Seventies, even remotely

understand what was behind The Road? Hell, most of them can't even tell you

the name of the current secretary of state, or who was President during World

War I, or which Roosevelt came first. Life has moved so fast away from the

sparsely populated post-WWII world into the go-go '80s and the

god-knows-what'll-happen-next '90s.

 

None of the actors anyone has named could portray Jack or Neal (okay, Attila,

"Sal and Dean..." get off my case, man...). They simply lack context.

 

And OTR is a sacred cow of the highest order, because what kerouac put down

on paper became a holy grail for millions who came after. The events of those

trips became a road map for life for people like me, Leon, and the majority

of people who embraced the truth of it.

 

Yeah, I think the movie will most likely be a travesty, and I think the

reason it shouldn't be made is because the truth will be repackaged into 97

minutes of bullshit, and as Leon said, myths will be created. A whole new

generation or two of kids will come up believing in the cinematic version of

what happened, and will never read the book, and will never understand

something that's important to understand.

 

Making the argument is exhausting. If you don't get it, I can never explain

it to you.

 

Amazingly enough, I'm pretty sure my protests won't have the tiniest bit of

influence on Coppola's approach or decisions. Go figure.

 

But those of us who knew Jack or Neal, like Leon, and those of us who feel we

know them so deeply in here (pointing to head and heart) will be the ones

batting cleanup when all the myths become neat little music videos and pass

into obscurity, made finite by their own unimaginative boundaries.

Has anyone seen the movie Mother Night with Nick Nolte, Alan Arkin? I've

never read the Vonnegut book it was based on, but i thought the movie was

awesome. Kurt Vonnegut makes an appearance as a man on the street. I'm not

a big Nolte fan, but i am more of one after seeing this movie. Some

wonderful scenes. He writes his autobiography from prison in Israel

awaiting trial for his war crimes (he was an American spy in Germany in

WWII but his country will no longer recognize him). when he finds out that

he will probably be found innocent, he pulls out all the ribbon from his

typewriter desk and stands up on his chair. He says something like "They

say a man hears beautiful music when he hangs. I wonder what it sounds

like." He does it. the end.

i like to read a book before i see the film adaptation. i feel like

i'm cheating myself if i don't. someone mentioned 'the english patient'.

i loved the book so much more because it didn't focus as much on the

english patient. rather, he was just one of a few characters that were

the central focus of the book. it wasn't as action packed as the movie,

but it was more involved and there was just so much more *there*...

i think i understand what you're saying and if i read you right, i

agree with you on this! a lot of my friends go see movies only

because they've heard the soundtrack first, not because they've

read the book. and it seems they always have a totally different

opinion of movies than i do! ugh, i hate that! they make me so

mad because they'll go rent movies like 'natural born killers' and

'reservoir dogs' and 'pulp fiction', and think they're such great

movies! if the soundtrack was full of uncool music, i wonder how

they'd like the movie then?! i hate movies like that because they

desensitize (spelled that wrong i think!) kids. and it seems like

people who can watch these movies have the nerve to get upset over

movies like 'last exit to brooklyn', 'dead man walking', 'rivers

edge' etcetera... atleast violence is portrayed in a realistic,

psychologically thoughtful way! so what if these movies make us

feel icky and uncomfortable. violence should make us feel that way!

*frowns* you should be more optimistic. well, you should try atleast.

i don't think most actors are completely ignorant of the history of

the world before they existed. yeah, times have changed. and they'll

continue to change. but how you can blame kids for the way they turn

out when the parents are responsible? well, to a point. i know us

kids have minds of our own and we stop listening to our parents and

think for ourselves at some point. but if we are raised well, i think

we won't turn away from what we've been taught. (sorry i don't speak

as well as you guys do. i hope i get my point across okay.)

Back to the book itself. Some passages that are stiking me this time

through.

 

pg. 132

"Only a guy who's spent five years in jail can go to such maniacal

helpless extremes; beseeching at the portals of the soft source, mad with

a completely physical realization of the origins of life-bliss; blindly

seeking to return the way he came.  This is the result of years looking

at sexy pictures behind bars; evaluating the hardness of the steel walls

and the soft of the woman who is not there.  Prison is where you promise

yourself the right to live.  Dean had never seen his mother's face.

Every new girl, every new wife, every new child was an addition to his

bleak impoverishment.  Where was his father?--old bum Dean Moriarty the

Tinsmith, riding freights, working as a scullion in the railroad

cookshacks, stumbling, down-crashing in wino alley nights expiring on

coal piles, dropping his yellow teeth one by one in the gutters of the

West.  Dean had every right to die the sweet deaths of complete love of

his Marylou.  I didn't want to interfere.  I just wanted to follow."

I think my words have been confused.  What I meant was that including a

shot of Neal walking down the tracks, counting the tracks, at the end of

the OTR movie, would show that even in a world of sadness and despair,

Neal Cassady was the sort who could find joy.  I think that what Kerouac

learned from Neal Cassady and others was something of the holiness of

life, of how everything, every moment is sacred and should be

appreciated.  Even at the end of his life, apparently at a low point

emotionally and in other ways...alone, broke, and lost on a railroad

track in Mexico, the myth at least is that he still found life sacred and

special, that he still found the littlest things wonderous.  So he

started to count the tracks because they were there, because they were

part of the world and therefore sacred.

 

Yes its probably a myth...he was coming down likely from whatever

high he was on and was probably counting the tracks in a

futile attempt to stay awake and not fall asleep and freeze to death

 

But who cares...what we celebrate is the myth of the man anyway.  Jack

Kerouac celebrated the indominatable spirit of Neal Cassady.  So did

Allen Ginsberg, John Clellon Holmes and the others who wrote about him.

 

Leon, in his terrific post, claims that he is not a revisionist historian

and prefers the facts.  The "facts" are that "On the Road" was written

about a hard-core thief, hustler and junkie who used everyone he ever

knew and didnt care who he hurt.  But regardless of that, it is also true

that people loved Neal Cassady...they loved him because deep down he was

wide-eyed and innocent and still a child, living among sad grown people

who had lost their childhoods long ago.

 

In Carolyn Cassady's "Off the Road" there is a pic of Neal taken shortly

before he died, and he looks terrible..strung out, tired, beat...but

smiling.  Maybe this isnt the Neal that Leon knew.  But pictures dont

lie.  I get the impression that Jack Kerouac was much more miserable

at the end of his life than Neal Cassady.

 

So I dont think the movie needs to show Neal at the end as a miserable,

broken man.  Show that he was beaten a lot by life but also show that his

spirit never died.  Even those who knew him would say that.

 

That isnt being a revisionist historian.  The facts arent being changed.

Just given a more palatable interpretation.

And I would also argue that maybe he *did* have his spirits lifted on his

trip to Mexico...since you never saw him again, there is no way to tell.

>From everything I've read, Neal was a moody fellow who was always looking

for ways to rekindle the spirit.   There is no way anyone can know if he

didnt feel rejuvenated by partyingin Mexico and wasnt in a good mood

walking down those tracks.

 

You can also be a revisionist historian if you read too much into

particular encounters and end up making presumptions.  There is no way

Leon or anyone else can know for certain what was in Neal's head as he

walked down those tracks.

 

So go with the myth.  It fits the legend.  Beat bylife but never

completely beaten spiritually...indominatable.  I still contend it would

be a worthy ending scene for the OTR movie.

The introduction to Old Bull Lee,(beginning on page 143) seems to paint a

picture of Burroughs much as one would imagine him.  Does anyone know if

he ever talked about being pleased or not pleased with the way Kerouac

described him in his books?

 

"It would take all night to tell about Old Bull Lee; let's just say now,

he was a teacher, and it may be said that he had every right to teach

because he had spent all his time learning; and the things he learned

were what he considered to be and called 'the facts of life,' which he

learned not only out of necessity but because he wanted to.  He dragged

his long, thin body around the entire United States and most of Europe

and North Africa in his time, only to see what was going on; he married a

White Russian countess in Yugoslavia to get her away from the Nazis in

the thirties--gangs with wild hair, leaning on one another; there are

other pictures of him in a Panama hat, surveying the streets of Algiers;

he never saw the White Russian countess again.  He was an exterminator in

Chicago, a bartender in New York, a summons-server in Newark.  In Paris

he sat at cafe tables, watching the sullen French faces go by.  In

Athens he looked up from his ouzo at what he called the ugliest people in

the world.  In Istanbul he threaded his way through crowds of opium

addicts and rug-sellers, looking for the facts.  In English hotels he

read Spengler and the Marquis de Sade.  In Chicago he planned to hold up

a Turkish bath, hestitated for just two minutes too long for a drink, and

wound up with two dollars and had to make a run for it.  He did all these

things merely for the experience.  Now the final study was the drug

habit. He was now in New Orleans, slipping along the streets with shady

characters and haunting connection bars.

        There is a strange story about his college days that illustrates

something else about him: he had friends for cocktails in his

well-appointed rooms one afternoon when suddenly his pet ferret rushed

out and bit an elegant teacup queer on the ankle and everybody hightailed

it out the door screaming.  Old Bull leaped up and grabbed his shotgun

and said, 'He smells that old rat again,' and shot a hole in the wall big

enough for fifty rats.  On the wall hung a picture of an ugly old Cape

Cod house.  His friends said, 'Why do you have that ugly thing hanging

there?'  and Bull said, 'I like it because it's ugly.'  All his life was

in that line."

this is nonsense.  I understand that a movie might be made and images

might be used to convey the ideas in the book. I appreciate literary

license and the need to use it both in books and movies.  but to say it

is the myth we celebrate and not the man, man the we is you, not me.

That to me is hog wash.  i find the drunken meanness of jack k, the lost

black hand of william, the frantic dispair of neal unpalitable and

A couple more quotes.  I think we talked before about Burroughs dislike

of Neal and of wanting Kerouac to come visit without Neal; on page 147,

Old Bull, talking about Dean, says, "'He seems to me to be headed for his

ideal fate, which is compulsive psychosis dashed with a jigger of

psychopathic irresponsibility and violence.'  He looked at Dean out of

the corner of his eye. 'If you go to California with this madman you'll

never make it."

 

Also, in the car after he and Sal have been to the racetrack, Bull says,

"Mankind will someday realize that we are actually in contact with the

dead and the other world, whatever it is; right now we could predict, if

only we exerted enough mental will, what is going to happen within the

next hundred years and be able to take steps to avoid all kinds of

catastrophes.  When a man dies he undergoes a mutation in the brain that

we know nothing about now but which will be very clear someday if

scientists get on the ball.  The bastards right now are only interested

in seeing if they can blow up the world.'"

I have to agree with Patricia for stating the truth so vividly.  It is

the human lives that we celebrate.  And why not remain true to the ending

of OTR, where the last time Sal sees Dean in New York, he's in a car with

Remi, going to a concert, and they won't even give Dean a ride. "he liked

me but he didn't like my idiot friends,' Sal says.  "So Dean couldn't

ride uptown with us and the only thing I could do was sit in the back of

the Cadillac and wave at him...Old Dean's gone, I thought, and out loud I

said, 'He'll be all right.' And off we went to the sad and disinclined

concert for which I had no stomach whatsoever and all the time I was

thinking of Dean and how he had got back on the train and rode over three

thousand miles over that awful land and never knew why he had come

anyway, except to see me."

 

The ending of OTR is very sad and desparate, "...nobody knows what's

going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old..."

Primal Rain

 

Primal connection.

One month, one inch.

Brown is

                everywhere I look.

                                        I am not sure I care.

 

But when it comes

                        I find joy leaping

                                                From the pit

And dancing on the grave stone of the drought.

 

Rainmaker, rainmaker,

Bring me your machine.

 

I cry with joy to see.

Water running down my windows.

I hope again,

                Believe again,

                                Miracles again.

 

Primitive, primal, joy of joys.

Rain is just rain, is just gold and pennies from heaven.

I am happy and don't know.

 

The rainmaker takes my money.

The rainmaker gives me honey.

The rainmaker is god.

 

Primal screams are silenced in the primal joys.

I was screaming so loud, that I forgot I was screaming.

Til the rain fell,

And I could tell, cause I fell

Silent

To a pool,

On the sidewalk,

And wept for something that is buried in my bone marrow.

The rainmaker.

i was about to bring up clockwork orange on this thread and you beat me

to it.

 

looking back over arthur's recent post on  film adaptations, i think

clockwork fits nicely into the second category.  it doesn't mirror, nor

does it try to mirror, burgess's novel, but kubrick instead creates a new

piece of art, based on the novel, which stands on it's own.

 

the odd thing about the film is that it leaves off not at the end of the

original book (which has 3 sections of 7 chapters = 21 chapters) but at

the end of the americanized edit of the book (which ends at chapter 20).

i have heard different stories explaining why this happened and i know

that now we can get the original 21 chapter form in the states, but the

film will forever end without the 21st chapter.  this is unfortunate as

the intent of the book os horribly altered without the ending.  our

humble narrator is left at the end of the film back in the same place

that he started despite/due to  the government's intervention.  with the

21st chapter, our humble narrator attains a new perspective asnd

understanding of life that is omited from the  form most americans

(especially those who are too damned lazy to READ the book) ever see.

 

my suggestions:

 

1.  make sure you have the complete copy of the book and make a mental

note of where you would be had you finished reading after chapter 20.

 

2.  watch the film AFTER reading the book.  i believe the film can add

something to the experince of "a clockwork orange," but i think you have

to know where burgess is coming from before you can appreciate kubrick's

interpretation.

 

this is in my humble opinion.  this is one of my favorite books, so i

encourage you whole heartedly to stick with it.

Richard, this just makes me flat-out sad. What a spin doctor you are. Why

kinds of pretty stuff without changing the "facts" one bit. Keep us from

being sad... make us believe everything is neat and tidy and tied up with a

big old shiny bow.

 

Like patricia said, embracing these real human beings requires being able to

see them nakedly, all of their flaws and beauty all at once, and being able

to keep those conflicting thoughts in one's mind all at once without needing

some rationalization to escape into. Read "Scripture of the Golden Eternity"

for more amplification of this.

 

Whoever's interpretation of OTR makes its way into the script and final cut

of the movie, it won't be mine or yours. And no matter how passionately you

argue your point about who Neal Cassady was and who really knew him, the

vision of Dean Moriarty that makes it to the screen will be dictated by a

filmmaker's Hollywood budget and the character's commercial appeal, not by

Beat virtues or human failings.

But Kerouac wanted his readers to see the Neal HE  saw...his Neal, not

neccesarily the

real Neal.  Jack's Neal was a very close proximity to the real thing but

the portrayal wasnt designed to be three dimensional.  Dean Moriarty was

a character in a story.  Jack Kerouac saw something in Neal that he

deeply felt very few others saw.  It was the whole reason he wrote the

book, as well as "Visions of Cody"

 

So it isnt important to be historically accurate about the nature of

Neal's emotions the day of his death.  What is important is to portray

what Jack Kerouac would have thought.  And Jack would

have thought Neal died the way he lived, and did not die a broken man.

In fact I believe I read that Kerouac was in denial about Neal's death

and refused to believe he was dead at all, that his "death" had to have

been some Neal prank.

 

The point is that we are NOT talking about Neal Cassady, but about Jack

Kerouac's "Vision" of Neal Cassady.  How real does that have to be?  How

real was it in the first place?

 

If whoever makes the movie of On the Road ignores Kerouac's writings, as

Leon seems to imply theyshould do, and replace that with historical fact

that may be conflicting or different, then they are not making a faithful

version of the book.

 

Do you think Neal Cassady needs to be portrayed as a sexist, racist

anti-semite in the movie because some felt thats how he was?  Is the

reality more important than the "author's" reality?  This is a novel, a

vision, NOT a biography of Neal Cassady or a history of the beat generation!

 

Do you want to make a film based on the real events that were described

in "On the Road" or do you want to make a film of "On the Road"?  Because

you'll find those are two separate things.  Kerouac changed facts and

events in the book.  His mother became his aunt.  He suddenly had a

married brother in Testament, Virginia.  This is a story, its Jack

Kerouac's story and you cant wave a magic wand and declare it non-fiction

just because it was based on real events.  Neal Cassady died on the

tracks in Mexico.  So add one more scene, showing the fictional Dean

Moriarty dying in the same way, but postulate, as Sal Paradise would

have, that he died without losing his spirit.

 

All through "On the Road", Kerouac's Sal Paradise character desperately

wants everyone else to see Neal/Dean the way he sees him.  See him not

for who he was, but for what he was.  To look beyond the reality and the

scars and such and see the soul of the man.

 

It saddens me that some of you dont understand how beautiful it would be

to have a closing scene in the film that shows Jack's vision of Neal-- a

scene that even in showing the sad circumstances of his death, seems to

confirm how special Jack always thought he was.

 

Maybe it sanitizes Neal too much but this isnt history.  This is "On the

Road", one man's vision.  Show Neal through Jack's eyes.  Not Leon's eyes

or Patricia's or anyone else's.  That is the only way to be faithful to

the material!

not to pick on RW, but this snipped line seems to suggest something that

i've found in this whole thread that just seems delusional to me.  "Do

richard, you conveniently changed what you said and reinterpreted what I

said.  It is like arguing with sand on a windy day.  I never suggested

they do some damn movie in regard to the background biographical

material of certain characters.. You continue to want to argue the

concept that, wouldn't it make a great true shot if the movie ended with

the scene of a joyfull dean at the tracks . In my oppinion we quit

talking about that about 6 posts ago.  but to address that.  i like how

the book ended more.   My posts weren't addressing some movie. I was

responding to the welcome change of subject.
