    Daily writing prompt What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel? View all responses

    None really. I’m not much of a traveler so no book or movie has inspired me to travel. In fact, the first movie I thought of this morning inspired me not to travel and that’s The Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy wakes up in her bed and tells us if she ever goes looking for her heart’s desire again she won’t look any further than her own back yard because if it’s not there, it was never lost to begin with, it made sense to me. Stay home, stay safe. Kind of a sheltered existence, but it works. About the best a book has ever done for me is inspire me to want to travel. Travels With Charley, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. On the Road. I suppose The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the Hobbit books might have to be somewhere on that list too. Maybe, in a way, metaphorically?, the Book of Exodus? If I think about it more I’m guessing more titles will come to mind so I’ll stop thinking about it now.

  7. JACK KEROUAC
    Readings By Jack Kerouac On The Beat Generation
    2024 U.S. MONO reissue

    The end of a very long day; spent travelling down island on a day trip to Victoria.

    Found a couple gems through my day’s adventures, THIS being my favorite one.

    I discovered #JackKerouac when I was 14; the first time I read On the Road, and my whole world opened up. I was hypnotized by Jack’s rhythm and language, & it’s been a life long love affair.

    Unlike his legendary album with Steve Allen, there is no jazz piano here. No musical accompaniment.

    Just Jack alone, reading excerpts from his various writings, and it’s remarkable.

    The aforementioned rhythm and language really takes on a different energy hearing it directly from Jack’s mouth.

    Smoky jazz clubs, lovers and drinkers, the heartbeats of San Francisco, the infinite and immaterial.

    This is my favorite find of the year.

  11. MIST0426/CT-JACK_KEROUAC-ON_THE_ROAD

    Mistigram: from one celebrated ’50s typewritten manuscript to another, today we look at Cthulu’s attempt to adapt #BillEnglish’s abstract cover art illustration to #JackKerouac’s influential 1957 Beat novel #OnTheRoad. This screen was included in last month’s books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

  12. 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.)

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.

  21. quixote / bruce baillie. 1965

    Co-founder of Canyon Cinema and the San Francisco Cinematheque and one of the godparents of experimental film, Bruce Baillie (1931-2020) has forged a singular path in his visionary explorations of the world, his exquisite treatment of light and fragmented storytelling influencing successive generations of like-minded filmmakers. Shot on a cross-country journey during 1964 and 1965, is the Baillie film most in need of rediscovery. Joining the ranks of Bob Dylan, Robert Frank and Jack Kerouac in chronicling a tumultuous period in American history from the road, Baillie sets out “to show how in the conquest of our environment in the New World, Americans have isolated themselves from nature and from one another”.

  28. This is an excellent and long article about the last remaining members of the Beat Generation (as of the article's publication in 2017). We overly romanticize the Beats but I still get inspired them, imperfect as they were and probably because of their imperfections.
