Howl

Skreeworld has heard a film is soon out on Ginsbergs' Howl. For us the beat generation is Ginsbergs' Howl, the rest is pretty crap. Burroughs Junkie is a good swift read though a bit thin, his letters to Ginsberg and Kerouac are his best writings, they chart his life which was his great work. His books never matched this. Cassady produced virtually nothing, this is no crime nor reason to be not considered an artist, though his autumn years seem to have been spent as a clown for Keseys Pranksters. Kerouac is the one I fail to see any reason for admiration in, his drunken bawling bore the hallmarks of a tourist. But Howl still stands out, still excites.
