Groundbreaking stream of consciousness ramblings of counterculture gurus who brought voice to the anonymous musings inside our heads. I have had this book on my nightstand for 25 years and still marvel at the gut wrenching in your face observations of pre-hippie drug induced escapeisms. Remarkable for it's anti establishment rants that became the genesis for shift in culture, music, and literature. The beat writers were responsible for opening doors that were previously locked and they pushed open and knocked down taboo subjects and exposed in detail the underbelly of the idyllic America. They snarled and hissed at all that we considered sacred and threw semantic Molotov cocktails through the windows of the well groomed lawns and shaded side streets of quiet America. It should be read!!
