A valentine's surf

A slightly tongue in cheek song in praise of single-life for any singles tempted on this day to think that a significant other would make their life better or happier....



Today there was news item about the earliest recorded reading of Howl being discovered in a University vault. I found this clip while hunting for the one above it shows how much Waits followed in the footsteps of the Beats


Thinking about Ginsberg led me to this clip from Renaldo and Clara


And then to this - rare footage of Kerouac reading from On the Road.


It's strange but despite having read most of his work and been infleunced by him I'd never seen more than a photo of him
