Beat generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A number of the beats were enthralled with Cassady — Ginsberg had an affair with him; and Kerouac's road trips with him in the late 40s became a focus of his second novel, On the Road. The Beats in general were a large influence on members of the new "counterculture", for example, in the case of Bob Dylan who became a close friend of Allen Ginsberg. The adjective "beat" (introduced to the group by Herbert Huncke) had the connotations of "tired" or "down and out", but Kerouac added the paradoxical connotations of "upbeat", "beatific", and the musical association of being "on the beat". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Beat_generation   (4513 words)

Beat When a beat is combined with patterns of accents, and other patterns of changes in pitch, volume etc., then you have the beginnings of rhythm. This might be literally by a stronger beat perhaps by a drum, or it might be implied by the harmonic or melodic shape of the music. Within a bar of four or more beats, there will almost certainly be a sub-division, which means that another beat in the bar will be felt as being stronger than the others, but not as strong as the first. ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/Neil_Hawes/theory09.htm   (427 words)

Beat Culture: A Later Manifestation of Bohemia However, the beat writers also completely changed the face of American poetry and prose, ushering in a new kind of writing and way of seeing the world, so that later they were seen as an important part of American literary history. Like most bohemian residences, the Beat Hotel was the cheapest, lowest-quality place to reside, with "no carpets, hole-in-the-floor toilets, last week's Figaro for toilet paper, [and] a smell of bad feet in the corridors" (Campbell 221). The beat writers went against the ideals of the mainstream culture, both in their lifestyles and literature. www.mtholyoke.edu /courses/rschwart/hist255-s01/boheme/beat.html   (343 words)

Love your kids? Prove it by beating them. By not beating your kids, they get a skewed perspective of reality where they start thinking that they have it rough and that they can get away with dying their hair and listening to Insane Clown Posse. If you don't beat your kids when they fall out of line, the next thing you know your son will go off and bang some dude in the ass just out of spite. This usually shuts them up because they see that the amount of crying is proportional to the amount of beatings. www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net /c.cgi?u=beat   (990 words)

Beat (2000) Perhaps the only way to really deal with the Beats on screen is to aim closer to the approach of their own poetry and prose. His work and ideas, and those of the other Beats, have had enormous repercussions on all kinds of arts, and have directly or indirectly affected many of our lives whether we know it or not. Burroughs life was almost as fascinating as his work, but you wouldn't know it from watching 'Beat', as it manages to condense some fascinatingly uncliched relationships into a soap-like love triangle. www.imdb.com /title/tt0211941   (451 words)

Amazon.com: Beat: Music: King Crimson Such is the problem with King Crimson's "Beat," their follow-up to 1981's masterful, groundbreaking "Discipline." As with "In the Wake of Poseidon" (1970), their encore to 1969's "In the Court of the Crimson King" (which officially launched the progressive rock movement), "Beat" represents an erratic effort to continue King Crimson's tradition of relentless trailblazing. What we got in "Beat" was a fine effort, with singer/guitarist Adrian Belew moving solidly to the front, but not an adequate follow up to the remarkable developments of thier first effort. I'm not a Crimson completist, but to me, "Beat" (blue), "Discipline" (red), and "Three of a perfect pair" (yellow), like the colors they represent, are the primary colors, and therefore the very essence of the band. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003S1C?v=glance   (1688 words)

LitKicks: The Beat Generation The phrase "Beat Generation" was invented by Jack Kerouac in 1948 (for a discussion of the origin of this and other labels, check out Lost, Beat and Hip). The term "Beat Generation" gradually came to represent an entire period in time, but the entire original Beat Generation in literature was small enough to have fit into a couple of cars (at times this nearly happened). The "latter day beats" added some much needed cultural diversity, as well as an infusion of new ideas and talent, to the core of white male friends that were the "classic beats". www.litkicks.com /BeatPages/page.jsp?what=BeatGen   (868 words)

The Beat Page - Where does the word "Beat" Come From? The word "Beat" originally derived from circus and carnival argot, reflecting the straitened circumstances of nomadic carnies. By the early 1950's, Kerouac and Ginsberg had begun to emphasize the "beatific" quality of "Beat", investing the viewpoint of the defeated with mystical perspective. As the twentieth century draws to a close, the Beat Generation has outlived that historical moment, surviving notoriety and media blitz to become classic literature for succeeding generations. www.rooknet.com /beatpage/info/info_originbeat.html   (289 words)
