	Jack Kerouac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kerouac's novel is often described as the defining work of the post-World War II Beat Generation and Kerouac came to be called "the king of the beat generation," a term that he never felt comfortable with, and once observed I'm not a beatnik, I'm a Catholic.
		Kerouac is considered by some as the "King of the Beatniks" as well as the "Father of the Hippies".
		Kerouac was "locked in the Cold War and the first Asian debacle" in "the gray, chill, militaristic silence, [...] the intellective void [...] the spiritual drabness".

		Jack Kerouac eventually became an alcoholic and died an early death, but I'm personally grateful for this book he left behind and the experience of reading it.
		In Kerouac's book, which was completed in 1952 and published in 1957, he originates the term 'beat generation'-a generation that he and his contemporaries, most notably Allen Ginsburg and William S. Burroughs, had embarked on themselves and chronicled in their classic works of fiction and poetry.
		Jack Kerouac's seminal work still resonates nearly fifty years after its original publication because the writing is still quite ripe with human insight and attitudes that have changed little when it comes to seizing the day.

	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/David Amram discusses Jack Kerouac in an exclusive interview with Jerry Jazz Musician
		Kerouac and the rest of us would say, "By your works, ye shall be known." A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
		Jack didn't want to associate himself with that because he felt it was betraying that generation of kids who were being led by a bunch of opportunists, and he correctly saw that today's fashionable media star revolutionary becomes tomorrow's Wall Street broker, which is what happened to a lot of the people during that time.
		Jack, in spite of all his health problems and his drinking, was really serious about the ideals he believed in, which included a life long spiritual search, a universal compassion for all people, and a deep respect and appreciation for the country that had given he and his family beautiful opportunities.
