Subject: huncke

I was sorry to learn of Huncke's death yesterday. Earlier posts have

nicely summed up his contribution to Beat literature. I had the good

fortune to do an interview with him for the Literary Denim several years

ago. He was, as today's New York Times obituary points out, gracious,

well-mannered, and a hell of a good story teller. I spoke briefly with

him in Lowell last October where he gave a wonderful reading at the

Lowell Celebrates Kerouac Conference. He will certainly be missed.

Subject: Re: huncke

Huncke's passing really is symbolic of the gradual, now almost total death of

a certain type of rough and tumble American culture that once flourished in

Times Square in NY, many places in Chicago, 3rd and Howard in SF, Market St.

in St. Louis and the Denver of Neil Cassidy's time...to name a few places in

time. I don't romanticize the world of Herbert Huncke. That would be a

mistake. It was often a cruel and seemingly hopeless world...a world where

freedom abounded but people often paid a pretty terrible price for it. It's

not my world to go on week long benders, to have the monkey of herion on your

back or even pushing the limits of sexual expermentation. But, I can't help

feeling that we have lost something important. I'll miss Herbert Huncke.

Jerry Garcia too.

Subject: Kerouac article

I was away for awhile so don't know if there was any discussion in this

group of Ralph Lombreglia's review of Ann Charters "Portable Kerouac"

and "Selected Letters" in the August "Atlantic Monthly" Thoughtful

analysis of Jack and his impact by a declared non-fan. Can be read at

http://www.theAtlantic.com/atlantic/issues/96aug/jackk.htm

In addition to some really insightful analysis of Jack the man,

Lombreglia writes rather interestingly on a topic we probably beat to

death last spring--the influence of booze and drugs on Jack's writing.

"Many writers deny that they have ever written a single word in any

condition other than stone-cold sobreity. At least some of them are

lying. Kerouac always admitted that he wrote while he was high.

"Selected Letters" confirms that he rarely wrote fiction except under

the influence of one substance or another--Benzedrine, marijuana, or

alcohol in his early years, mostly alcohol later on. For Kerouac,

literal intoxication provided both the physical rush that propelled him

through his long writing sessions and the freedom from his censorious

self--his internalization of his clannish, Old World family and

particularly of his mother, the ever-present 'Memere'."

Ralph L. a non-fan of Jack Kerouac?

Then he had us all fooled - After all, he was the co-director and co-producer

of the Viking Penguin CD-Rom, Jack Kerouac Romnibus. While he was doing

research and gathering materials for the CD-Rom, he pretended as if he was a

big fan of Jack's -

You mean he did the project just for the money?

I'm sure that Mr. Huncke was "arraigned" many times in his life, but let's

hope that he won't be arraigned at his own funeral.

If that was a slip, it was a good one. If that was an attempt to poke a

little fun, it was a good one too.

RIP Herbert Huncke.

I met Huncke a few times in Allen's kitchen while I worked on cataloging AGs

tapes and videos for Columbia. Once he visited while I was woringk on the tapes

and we both had very bad colds. I felt sorry for myself, feeling like I might

flop over and die from this strain of NYC flu. But Huncke was still going on

strong. He looked and sounded awful but kept saying, "Ah, I'm surivor, it'll

take more than this to kill me off! I looked at him, old and battered (and this

was ten years ago), and I said to myself, 'this man IS a survivor!

The times I met huncke alawys presented him as a gnerous, kind and polite

character with a dry sense of humor. Since that early meeting, when I feel low

I can hear Hunckes voice in my ear..."I'm a survivor, ain't you?

Though needless to say, this ancient Junky was indeed "Guilty of Everything."

I hope is surving somewhere good righgt now, perhaps chewing mushrooms with

Subject: Tribe

Hello Folks.

William Miller here.

I just wanted you all to know about a magazine I found the other day called

"Tribe". The focus is, of all things, "New Orleans style-culture-ideas". I

have the August issue in front of me.

Burroughs is on the cover.

There is an interview with Lawrence Ferlinghetti inside.

Also an interview with William Burroughs.

There is a "Beat for Dummies" family tree / flowchart inside.

A couple of other beat-related articles inside, relating to the

Insomniacathon, or whatever that thing is called.

The magazine generally looks (judging by the non-beat lit material) pretty

tacky, but this is a must (I think) -- A new Orleans regional rag with a

focus on this Beat Event.....

If you can't get _Tribe_ where you are, but you'd like a copy, just e-mail me

directly.

Regards,

William Miller

I'm not sure where this message will end up, apologies if everyone gets

this.

William Miller - Ditto the tribe email address request.

To Levi Asher I just read your on the road audition piece, a cack, and I

didn't even know it was in the works. How has the project progressed, ie

how long ago was the audition?; and has Coppola done aught about it since?

Also has anyone seen the On the road play done a couple of years ago? It

was performed in Melbourne and England (I think). I saw it at St Martins

with a hootin crowd.

Subject: Kinsey/Beats

Dear gang,

While channel-surfing last night I happened upon A&E's Biography of Dr.

Alfred Kinsey, the great sex researcher. I thought to myself, "Gee, I

wonder if..." and YES! Before the his picture even appeared on the

screen I recognized THAT VOICE! None other than the late Mr. HERBERT

HUNCKE himself relating the anecdote of his meeting and subsequent

interview with Dr. Kinsey in the late 1940s. He dropped a few names of

people to whom he introduced Dr. Kinsey for the purposes of interviews,

among whom was WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS whose noble talking head thence

appeared on my television screen, wryly reminiscing about the good

doctor.

I thought this was good, Beat TV (BTV?). I welcomed the appearance of

Huncke's wiry, smoking, smirking person on cable TV so soon after his

demise. Burroughs was in good form, wearing his lapel pin from the

Academy of Arts and Letters, holding back a smile.

John Hasbrouck

P.S. To anyone interested in the life and work of Dr. Kinsey I

enthusiastically recommend "Dr. Kinsey and the Institute for Sex

Research" by Wardell Pomeroy. Written by one of Kinsey's co-authors of

"Sexual Behavior in the Human Male", this book is an insider's account

of the research, interviewing techniques, data analysis, writing,

publishing and subsequent controversy of that historic volume.

Subject: Dean Moriarty song lyrics

The saga of the Beats in modern music continues. Check out a great song by

folk singer songwriter Eric Taylor, found on his self-titled 1995 CD:

Dean Moriarty

Dean Moriarty don't live here no more

He's off in California, works in a liquor store

Where it's two packs of cigarettes and one half a pint

And he's back to his room on the Mexican side

Says he's through with the railroad freight-car line

The fight between the moon and the lantern light

Says I'm goin' cross country but I might come back

But I'm stickin' to the highway, to hell with the tracks

Chorus:

I can't take what you may give me

I've always wanted more

My Mercury hummin' road may put me

To sleep outside your door

I got a brand new baby, she's got a new pair of shoes

He drivin' somebody's car but he don't know whose

Been up all night but it don't show

Won twenty-five dollars in the hammer throw

Three-fingered guitar and a saxophone bites

Jack's been reading her poetry, he's been spillin' her wine

Her hair's so pretty, she smells like Juicy Fruit gum

Her old man's the black guy on the congo drums

Chorus

Maybe he should call her, he just ain't got the dough

Maybe walk on outside and check the radio

It's playin' her song but it just ain't his

Man like him's got no business with the wife and the kids

It's the last of the red wine from a night full of thrill

It's a coast to the bottom of a Frisco hill

How can a body begrudge another body a ride?

I didn't steal your car, man, I just borrowed it a while

Chorus

(Copyright Eric Taylor, 1995. Reprinted without permission)

Incidentally, Taylor seems to be a literary kind of guy. Another song

featured on the CD is titled "Hemingway's Shotgun"...

Since there was so much interest in Tribe, I thought I'd let you all

know about Bath, a free journal distributed in New York City. Outside

NYC, subs are $24 a year or $4 an issue. The August 1996 issue features

a 4 page article(including 2 pages of photos) on "A Week in Kerouac's

Lowell 1977" by Jimmy Wong. Wong ishard on Lowell and I think he's off

base. He describes Lowell as an unfriendly place and complains about

the lack of hotels in the downtown area. My friend Mike McLean and I

visited Lowell several years earlier (like Wong by Greyhound) and found

a hotel right in downtown Lowell on Bridge Street--I think it was called

the Surf Hotel. It wasn't fancy but it was convenient and inexpensive

at the time. We found the people in Lowell friendly and generally

helpful, although many knew nothing of Kerouac back in 1973 or 1974.

It really is amazing that any of these guys are around at all now much

less in their eighties.

I read Hunke's contribution to The Portable Beat Reader and wasn't

knocked out by his writing. It was pretty much reportage, yet I could

sense that he was trying to communicate some message or moral in the

writing. The moral was too esoteric for most, or perhaps you had to

be there to appreciate it, or maybe I need to read some more of his

stuff.

He certainly was seminal to the Beats just by association with

Burroughs, Kerouac and Ginsberg. He was truly a historical figure

among the Beat originators.

Can you think of a more romanticized

reallifetimessquarenewyorkjunkiehipster?

Whoever he was, he seemed to be the real deal.

>I live in Lowell and the Lowell of 1977 and the Lowell of 1996 are like

night and day in comparison. Lowell has gone through an amazing transition

and has turned around so much as to be a model for other cities in this

country. Largely in part to the fact that they have a super police chief and

politicians like Paul Tsongas and others who have faith and pride in their

city and never gave up on it. It also has a hard working South-East Asian

population that brings a wonderful culture and many businesses into the

city. I wish Jack Kerouac was around to see all the Buddhist Temples and

culture that is in the city of Lowell now. He would be proud of what has

become of Lowell. By the way the Surf hotel if it could be called a hotel

was always a dump and a shit hole. Lowell has a huge Shereton right downtown

on the canal and it is a very nice place to stay and there are a lot of new

clubs downtown. It's becoming a happening place. Ask any of the

approximately 150,000 people that came to the Lowell folk festival this

year. Why Bruce Springstein is even coming to the Lowell Auditorium in the

fall if you can believe that. Phil Chaput- lifelong (almost) resident of

Lowell . *LOWELL PRIDE*

This is a mystery to me. Last I heard Coppola's son was going to

direct it. I know Francis Ford C is still involved in the concept

one way or another. I'm basically hoping the idea stays in

purgatory where it probably belongs.

I did get a sneak peek at one version of a screenplay about a year

ago. It wasn't too obnoxious. Very oriented towards Neal/Dean. No

Mexican Girl at all. Overall: I didn't like it.

I never heard of this, sounds cool though!
