It was just a bold try by someone (me!) who admires the Beats since almost 40 Years. As a matter of fact I consider myself very serously as a genuine "Dharma Bum" since I have studied quite some time with Tibetan masters but never left the Beat background totally behind. On my website you learn that I refer to them and compare their high energy level with the concept of Tibetan lineages. I feel "BEAT", though never had any real contact with one of the guys. I have been to Marin County and have climbed Mount Tamalpais where Jack slept outside sometimes. I have seen Sausalito and I have strolled around a little bit in Greenwich Village where the guys used to roam around half a century ago---Erni Bär --- visit me on www.erni-baer.de |

 | on bass, watt thanks for the photos courtesy by bassist Mike Watt happy 2004year! to u hola, finally, I got a sunrise I could photograph - it's been hazy- like summer each morning (in cali here we call it "june gloom" but that's supposed to be still down the road for a bit!) and impossible to get a liftoff shot of the sun since I came back from all that flying and playing some different lands. this isn't the clearest but at least you can make out a disc! got this just before I put my kayak in the water here in the harbor for me to paddle in yesterday morning. so great to do that again since my forearm's finally healed up (took ten weeks - middle years bring slow healing, kids!). oh yeah - iggy's fiftyseven today - the perpetually rising sun (son)! much respect. on bass, watt 21 Apr 2004 thanks for the photos courtesy by bassist Mike Watt |
