  3. Damn. I knew, and then temporarily forgot, that "The Nervous Set" was a beatnik / Beat Generation era (inspired) musical, but I failed to pick up on "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" being a direct lift from F. Scott Fitzgerald - who, while not a Beat author, can definitely be considered to be a Beat precursor. Heck, the whole Lost Generation was a direct influence, once you see it.

    I love finding these interlocking webs betwixt different eras and movements. (And feel a little silly for not catching it sooner.)

    I multitask: wiggling while writing, proving two rhythms can coexist messily. :music_notes_woozy:

    As Jack Kerouac wrote... "The only truth is music." ❤️‍🔥

  14. "I have the right ideas, but my words are too... complicated. I need to simplify them, so that people won't get lost in the dark when they see and hear them. I want them to shine like beacons of light in a world of overly complicated darkness. One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."

    ~ Jack Kerouac, born today, 1922.

Se vi avanzasse qualche milione di dollari, stanno per andare all'asta chitarre (quella di #KurtCobain 2 di #DavidGilmour compresa la Black Strat, #ericclapton #jerrygarcia #TheEdge #johnlennon #paulmccartney #georgeharrison ...) la batteria di #ringostarr , la Chevrolet di Paura e Delirio a Las Vegas, la prima stesura a macchina di "Sulla strada" di #jackkerouac ... e qualche altra chicca per risolvervi il salotto, nel caso siate alla ricerca di arredamento.
