Maybe had I read it as a younger man with a narrower experience I'd have dug it. <BR/><BR/>Of course the generation 'turned on' by OTR and its ilk helped allow me to be a traveling man, and provided easy access to crazy ideas not widely known in the '50s hereabouts.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1154037652499616412006-07-27T18:00:00.000-04:002006-07-27T18:00:00.000-04:00Forgot to add that Kerouac might have realized how...Forgot to add that Kerouac might have realized how crappy his novel was, hence the bile directed at visitors in the years before his death. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't say that I hated OTR, but certainly is not deserving of the accolades thoughtlessly heaped upon it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1153949558947987802006-07-26T17:32:00.000-04:002006-07-26T17:32:00.000-04:00Where any View of Money exists Art cannot be carri...<EM>Where any View of Money exists Art cannot be carried on but War only</EM>.<BR/><BR/>Can't deny Blake his title of Prophet.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1153946134587144602006-07-26T16:35:00.000-04:002006-07-26T16:35:00.000-04:00And one of those weird Blakean art piecesBlake's L...And one of those weird Blakean art pieces<BR/><A HREF="http://penn.betatesters.com/blakelao.htm" REL="nofollow">Blake's Laocoon</A> that I missed seeing in London by a few weeks.<BR/>(<A HREF="http://squibix.net/blake/m/laocoon/image.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> too)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1153861623077457672006-07-25T17:07:00.000-04:002006-07-25T17:07:00.000-04:00Blogger puts it there--it's the same one on my use...Blogger puts it there--it's the same one on my user profile, and it's one of my faves in the Vatican <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laocoon" REL="nofollow">collection</A>.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1153857519993642382006-07-25T15:58:00.000-04:002006-07-25T15:58:00.000-04:00OK but more importantly, what is with the statue b...OK but more importantly, what is with the statue by your comment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-1153844538206237462006-07-25T12:22:00.000-04:002006-07-25T12:22:00.000-04:00Usually a classic I don't like at least has an app...Usually a classic I don't like at least has an apparent greatness, an undeniable weight I can appreciate.

Of course, the positive person in me must also acknowledge the fact that forty times in my life those same 400 people have been right on in their recommendations of other classics.
