i am brand new to the beat generation. you can basically say before last week i feel into the sterotypical crowd that thought of beatniks as hippies. wow was i wrong. i was enlightened to the beatnik movement of the 50’s and 60’s. my life has never been the same. i find myself engulfed in jack kerouac’s novel “The Dhrama Bums” and listening to charles parker albums. i cannot get enough of these 2 decades and want more. i was wondering if anyone could help me find some good info on music, literature, and movies on the beatnik movement or the anti-culture movement of the 50’s and 60’s. if so please email me. thank you.
