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 was 10 in 1966 and in a primary school in Cardiff just like the one destroyed in Aberfan.
Our headmaster, Mr Harris, walked into our classroom to tell our form teacher of the disaster.
As he looked around our classroom, he wept...It was the first time I'd seen a grown man cry in public.
I still remember that awful day as if it was yesterday.
