NCAA Men's Final 4 and IOWA (America's Team) vs LSU Trailer Trash

[Larry Loungelizard]

Was he the Ginsberg or Kerouac of his day? ...IYHO

Ginsburg and Kerouac couldn't hold Jim's jockstrap even if they tried. Jim was only comparable to himself.

Ugh, 4 minutes to go and Purdue is up by 15. Oh well, c'est la vie, c'est la basketball.

I'm not as fam with Carroll as I am with Kerouac and Casady et al. but I'd say yeah, I think so.

 

[The New Holliday]

That's why the games are played.

Not to mention commercials. Which is the big reason why they are on tv these days...

I really do love People Who Died.

..Beautiful poetry.
and the music....

He had like 7 books published.

Kerouac was a Jock that that went off into the wild side of life as did Carroll a generation or so later.

“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? —It's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” “Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” Sal Paradise.

It is, and prophesy is a gift, at least that's what they told me.
Of course one can benefit personally nothing from it, or lose it if one seeks to.

“And for just a moment I had reached the point of ecstasy that I always wanted to reach and which was the complete step across chronological time into timeless shadows, and wonderment in the bleakness of the mortal realm, and the sensation of death kicking at my heels to move on, with a phantom dogging its own heels, and myself hurrying to a plank where all the Angels dove off and flew into infinity.”

“But you can go on thinking and imagining forever further and stop at no decisions to pick up a bag for the thinkings. Turn your thinking into your work, your thoughts a book, in sieges.” Sal P.

I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.
Jack Kerouac sat beside me on a busted rusty iron pole, companion, we thought the same thoughts of the soul, bleak and blue and sad-eyed, surrounded by the gnarled steel roots of trees of machinery.
The oily water on the river mirrored the red sky, sun sank on top of final Frisco peaks, no fish in that stream, no hermit in those mounts, just ourselves rheumy-eyed and hung-over like old bums on the riverbank, tired and wily.
Look at the Sunflower, he said, there was a dead gray shadow against the sky, big as a man, sitting dry on top of a pile of ancient sawdust—
—I rushed up enchanted—it was my first sunflower, memories of Blake—my visions—Harlem
and Hells of the Eastern rivers, bridges clanking Joes Greasy Sandwiches, dead baby carriages, black treadless tires forgotten and unretreaded, the poem of the riverbank, condoms & pots, steel knives, nothing stainless, only the dank muck and the razor-sharp artifacts passing into the past—
and the gray Sunflower poised against the sunset, crackly bleak and dusty with the smut and smog and smoke of olden locomotives in its eye—
corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be-toothless mouth of sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire spiderweb,
leaves stuck out like arms out of the stem, gestures from the sawdust root, broke pieces of plaster fallen out of the black twigs, a dead fly in its ear,
Unholy battered old thing you were, my sunflower O my soul, I loved you then!
The grime was no man’s grime but death and human locomotives,
all that dress of dust, that veil of darkened railroad skin, that smog of cheek, that eyelid of black mis’ry, that sooty hand or phallus or protuberance of artificial worse-than-dirt—industrial—modern—all that civilization spotting your crazy golden crown—
and those blear thoughts of death and dusty loveless eyes and ends and withered roots below, in the home-pile of sand and sawdust, rubber dollar bills, skin of machinery, the guts and innards of the weeping coughing car, the empty lonely tincans with their rusty tongues alack, what more could I name, the smoked ashes of some cock cigar, the cunts of wheelbarrows and the milky breasts of cars, wornout asses out of chairs & sphincters of dynamos—all these
entangled in your mummied roots—and you there standing before me in the sunset, all your glory in your form!
A perfect beauty of a sunflower! a perfect excellent lovely sunflower existence! a sweet natural eye to the new hip moon, woke up alive and excited grasping in the sunset shadow sunrise golden monthly breeze!
How many flies buzzed round you innocent of your grime, while you cursed the heavens of the railroad and your flower soul?
Poor dead flower? when did you forget you were a flower? when did you look at your skin and decide you were an impotent dirty old locomotive? the ghost of a locomotive? the specter and shade of a once powerful mad American locomotive?
You were never no locomotive, Sunflower, you were a sunflower!
And you Locomotive, you are a locomotive, forget me not!
So I grabbed up the skeleton thick sunflower and stuck it at my side like a scepter,
and deliver my sermon to my soul, and Jack’s soul too, and anyone who’ll listen,
—We’re not our skin of grime, we’re not dread bleak dusty imageless locomotives, we’re golden sunflowers inside, blessed by our own seed & hairy naked accomplishment-bodies growing into mad black formal sunflowers in the sunset, spied on by our own eyes under the shadow of the mad locomotive riverbank sunset Frisco hilly tincan evening sitdown vision.

A couple years on when Jack's exploratory habits, fame and time were beginning to exact their toll...he was still hip and Beat.

Some live Take Five over Kerouac and Ginsberg getting together for a refreshing Cocktail.

I really enjoyed The Dharma Bums, and The Subterraneans (both '58). I loved the idea that everyone sought their own level of happiness on the mountain climb. Relaxed and appreciated that moment of life w/o needing more.

Game Time...

UConn will demolish Bama.

 

[The New Holliday]

UConn will demolish Bama.

Should be interesting. UConn can go, but their D has been more consistent. 58 is the most scored on them so far.

Will they let it rip, or turn it into a Big East rock-fight?

 

[The New Holliday]

UConn will demolish Bama.

Not so far but it will turn into a game of energy attrition.

UConn +6 Offensive boards/Turnovers. You can see them slowly gaining control.
