Well, if I had done that, I’d be dead now, Sam, Thanks a lot, old buddy! 🙂
But damn it, it sure would have been worth it! Can you imagine how it would have felt performing with those guys? I became friends with Vince Balestri, who toured a one man show as Kerouac across the US for many years. He did the show here at Chicago House (now defunct) in the Austin 6th street entertainment district. I handled his PR, created posters and stuff for the show, etc. It was continuously sold out and was held over twice. He then played Kerouac in a movie called, I think, “Beat Angel,” to excellent reviews. Copies are hard to find — and I don’t have one. But he was a terrific guy and really lived the part.

I really like this beat-nik vibe. Thank you for sharing. I had a friend
who wrote beat style- from San Francisco. Miss that guy.
I like those avant garde stylings. Keep that up -

Thanks. Not many left who appreciate what the greats of that era contributed. There’s a guy named Vince Balestri who starred in a movie about Kerouac, titled “Beat Angel,” which I have not yet seen. I have to order the disk version. It got great reviews, and it should. Before that,,Vince did a one man show, “Kerouac, The Essence of Jack,” for very many years, touring the US. I was lucky to do the PR for the show here in Austin at Chicago House, now defunct. That show was held over, twice. It was inccredible. We became good friends while he was here. A marvelous talent. I don’t know what happened to him, We just lost touch. I miss him, too.

If you liked this, try “How to Get Elected” or “I Know Why I’m Here, How ’bout You?”

Well, that was different! Although the AI voice does a decent job, it doesn’t measure up to the real Flatdaddy extraordinaire. I swear you belong in 1950’s and early 60’s Greenwich village.
