These excerpted from the Slate.com "Today's Pictures" (also e-mailed you link), from top to bottom:
-Beat poetry and folk-singing at McSorley’s Pub, NY, 1959
-Jack Kerouac, NY, 1953
-San Francisco, 1947
"Persona" is an important word and concept in our VS painting class, but I think applies also to S&P. Sure, one may argue that there is a Holy Spirit composer named "Traditional," but the songs really exist through a particular performer.
Jack Kerouac, who drank himself to death in 1969, aged 47, apparently grew to despise the Beat writer label and that circle. Joe was talking to me about Jim Morrison last week. In addition to him, and feeling like Holden Caulfield, every teenage American boy wants to be Jack Kerouac at some point, right?
