3 more weeks in the San Francisco area. Tomorrow I am going to visit one of the truly Iconic Bookstores, City Lights and something different, but related, The Beat Museum. I was a kid when the Beats ruled and I am so, so sorry that their vision got crushed, along with the musicians, poets, hipsters and hippies, by the agents of greed: I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night - opening lines of Howl by Alan Ginsburg, 1955
