brilliant young man named Neal Cassady. It included William Burroughs and
Allen
Ginsberg, as well. They met in the 1940's, but moved to San Francisco in the
1950's. It was around 1950 that the term "The Beat Generation" was used among
the followers of this group, and it was in 1952 that the term entered the
public.

And just to add to the timely discussion, are you familiar with the works of
Alan Watts? He did some trashing of Kerouac in an essay titled, "Beat Zen,
Square Zen, and Zen."
