I love the Beats myself, but I've just crossposted this to a bunch of
dummies who have and will gladly trash the Beats. Some even claim to
*hate* Kerouac, if you can believe such idiocy.

Actually, you asked us why we "hate" Kerouac, and most of us said that
"hate" was too strong a word: we merely have educated opinions about him
that differ with your opinions about him. That's it, really.

I - for one - don't "trash the Beats" (I notice you like to use
inflammatory and extreme phrases in hopes of creating a "scene": quite a
low-life occupation that.) I rather like the movement. But- like all art
- it is open to criticism, both positive and negative. I didn't call you
an idiot for liking Jack's poetry (I said I liked some of his prose), so
I don't see why you should call anyone an idiot for not liking it,
especially if they give reasons. I've read the Beats extensively: my
preference is for Burroughs as one of the most original writers, and for
Gary Snyder as one of the best poets of the group, who - moreover - has
a more integrated sense of what Buddhism might mean in America. Yet I
have nothing against you for choosing a person I consider to be the
worst POET of the Beats as an exemplar of that genre. That's fine.

Jack is a very interesting American type of the 50s, and his prose gives
a good look into that archetype. His poetry doesn't do that as well. So
I prefer his prose. Get over it.

Wow! Thanks for the thoughtful response, Dale. Sorry I called you an idiot,
and the other inflamatory things I typed while crossposting this over. I
basically should have let the original post speak for itself. *But*, someone
on this group did write that they "hated" Kerouac... they've probably left
already, since they were probably just trying to inflame me in a low life
sort of way.

Yeah, there is always someone else to blame of course.
Nice attempt at backpedalling.

Who ever said you people know how to sign your names properly, complete a

You academic a-holes.

First you'll have to learn how to sign your name properly and then step over
