What... did I get it wrong? Calling Pat Boone a beatnik is like calling Ted Nugent a rapper. But I love the cover. |

We are a younger crowd than I thought, aren't we? If you think some here are having problems with the term "beatnik" imagine what they would do with the term "flapper"? Surely, everyone knows what a flapper is? That whole 1920s look is timeless, classic. And ept in the public consciousness by any number of movies and TV shows set in that period, like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries or Upstairs, Downstairs. I've never been sure what a beatnik was, I think I just assumed it was an American term for a young person in the sixties. |

Nice to know that Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is known outside of Australia.  |

What... did I get it wrong? Calling Pat Boone a beatnik is like calling Ted Nugent a rapper. But I love the cover. Of course I was just having everyone on. Not being able to find a Ferlinghetti # 1 in the DC catalog in which " Lawrence tells his story" or the revelation of "Ginsburg's pin-ups" I just figured on taking what I could get  . But i love that cover too PH! I had a few other covers lined up but I think, as they were more of a feather with the hippie kind I'd pass on them. There are actually lots of hippie covers out there, and while the distance between hippie and beatnik is rather slighter than that between Boone and Bukowski I figure I'd respect the Beats and not conflate them with the 60's long hairs of another generation. |
