"Music Is Our Bomb!"
:Ron Sakolsky and Fred Ho, Sounding Off, preface.
"All you do is head straight for the grave, a face just covers a skull awhile. Stretch that skull cover and smile."
Kerouac. -Visions of Cody.
"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" "
Jack Kerouac
"You're either on the bus or off the bus."

"In fall 1950 when I was so much on weed, three bombs a day, thinking about unhappiness all the time I one night really carefully and high listened to George Handy's "The Blues" (Vicki had his picture up on the wall with mine and Charlie Parker's, the mind, the hand, and me the heart she said) but to really drift and I found it a big mocking sound and specifically the joy of the bop middle with Herbie Steward is rejected for this modern or rather sadomasochistic modernity, on T I was able to see that Handy was sacrificing joy which existed naturally in his heart for the glooms and despairs and great disappointed deaths, the deadly loss of ego, the last acknowledgement of self - the music seemed to say "There are still a few things you can cling to and this I supposed you should be soothed about - ha ha - but you won't even get that - but there's joy in our souls (bop interlude) we are nothing but shits and we'll all die and eat shit in graves and are dying now". Pretty powerful talk!"
Kerouac. -Visions of Cody.
"Thinking: Since thought is the basic human survival tool for humans, thinking people will always fare better than those who sit around and let others feed their minds. Seek the balanced development of your mind and body. Explore your imagination. Communicate what is in your head. Much in life requires no thought at all, but why pointlessly watch TV or play video games when you could engage in thought? "
