Sounds.. Uh yeast-y

Wonder if it contains the same amount of alcohol and amphetamines.

GIS "filthy, dirty beatnik" :

I read that as soup, and was hoping there was finally an alcoholic meal on the market.

And if it's got some LSD in it too, who am I to complain?

Go, man, go!

On the Rope by Jack Kerouac.

I read it as Jack Kevorkian soap.

/would make a great gift to all of the OWS guys and gals.
//never would get used
///i keed...i keed

I tried the Alan Ginsberg soap, but it always left my arse dirty.

Then I tried the Burroughs soap, but I wasn't sure if it was even a shower. The washcloth kept screaming something about interzone.

So I shot it.

1950s beatniks = 2010s hipsters.

Nothing new under the sun, children.

Toilet paper would have been much funnier, with tiny type-looking print on it from one end to the other. Could call it On the Roll.

I bet you could use this soap to BEAT your meat.
/zing

Is it made from real Kerouac?

I only use authentic Kerouac.

Goes well with the OTR Thermos.

/rule che: anything can be marketed

I read it as soup too

It's not news, it's advertising.

"The closer you get to real matter, rock air fire and wood soap, boy, the more spiritual the world is."

HotIgneous Intruder:

This. Watch the new documentary Magic Trip about Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters. It's proof positive.

Now with 50% more Kerouac fat. The richest fat in the world. The fat of the land.

semicolon?

I've tried their Courtney Love before.....made me smell like sweat, vomit and despair.

Incidentally, craft soaps are very kind to the skin, much nicer than any shower gel or most factory-made bars. Give your local soapmaker's product a try next time you run across it, it's wonderful stuff. It just feels nicer.

Or, make your own -- it's easy and kinda fun.

Listen man, punctuation is just a tool of the establishment, you dig, man? See what we're going for here, man, is an outpouring of the soul onto the naked page. You start throwing in semicolons and periods and hyphens, man- that just messes up the flow, start with that stuff, man, and you're censoring yourself man, the instantaneous prosicity just gets, like destroyed, man....

Actually if you've read up on the beats you know they were a reaction against Eisenhower conformity and consumption so this soap is an example of everything they were against.

If you want a good intro to the Beats see Chuck Workmans doc called "The Source" which shows how the beats were the most influential artists of the post war period. If you are listening to or watching or reading the work of one of today's artists there is a good chance they will cite the beats as an influence.

Keroauc hated the whole 'Beat Generation' thing....it was Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg that milked it for every dime they could.

In 60 years, people will be saying the same thing about avant garde artists from this generation's young people who by and large are labeled hipster (arguments about the merit of that are irrelevant; the fact remains the same). Essentially, the Beats were very small bunch of talented, highly-educated speed freaks, drunks, and junkies. They made good, influential art, but that doesn't change the fact that they were mostly out for kicks, just like all young people. The kids who came after them were labeled beatnik and had to fight that term just like the kids of this generation have to struggle against the term hipster if they want to make art that pushes boundaries.

He might have coined the phrase - and became known as the 'Father of the Beats' - but he skipped the lifestyle of the beats soon after it became a fad. When friends got involved in the radical politics of the '60s, Kerouac distanced himself from them. He was a conservative that found himself on the opposite side of the hippies supporting the War in Vietnam.

Sounds like Kerouac was into beat before it went mainstream.

Yes....and when the public stopped buying his books he became an alcoholic and a recluse, he went and moved in with his sick mother and stated at Northport, Long Island until his death in 1969 at the age of 47. Tragic....

Whatever. The only people for me are the dirty ones, the ones who are too drunk to wash, covered in vomit, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never shower or even take baths, but burn, burn, burn like bedsores exploding like spiders across the sheets and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Ewww!'

Wow!!! You are cool and hip and all it took for me to see it was your own self proclamation. Good job.

How many people have to adopt a style of dress and behavior before it is no longer "advanced guard" and is merely derivative?

Kerouac was a brain damaged alki in his later years. You can see that in his interview with W F Buckley. He displayed a few instances of right wing behavior during that time.

Before the alcohol screwed him up he had a few minor disagreements with some of his beat friends. Nothing the least bit out of the usual and he certainly didn't hate the beats

I disagree - I think he came to hate the whole pop icon label placed on him.

Yes Kerouac came up with the phrase "the biatch godess fame". he also said he was drinking to kill himself cause he was a devout Catholic who could never explicitly kill himself cause that was against Catholic teaching at the time. He also sad he wanted to die so he could be reunited with his brother Gerard who died when he was very young and who Jack worshipped.

It was the fame that got to him and not so much a realization that he hated the beat generation.

I can see you are knowledgeable about the beats however and I apologize if I was harsh to you.

About 20 years ago the sales of kerouacs books improved consideably and have stayed at a very respectable level ever since. He's a cash cow for his publisher now. Not block buster sales but decent dependable sales that go on year after year.

The general opinion is that our great leap backward in 1980 which was a resurgence of the 1950s conformity that the beats rebeled against is the reason why he is popular once more.

One more note on the deleterious effects of fame. The thing about Salinger that was so brilliant was his early recognition about how fame was the kiss of death for many artists. In Catcher he even uses the piano player to show how fame screws you up and his friends said the he loved Emersons quote about how "a man must be inferior". If you need your ego stroked the way assholes like trump and limbaugh do you are really screwed up.

Not at all - I enjoyed the back and forth. I read anything and everything "Beat" related when I was a kid back in high school. I preferred Burroughs over Kerouac and both over Ginsberg....who in his later years became a comic character of himself....much like Kerouac became the sad clown. Only Burroughs seemed to remain true to his writing.

Alcohol is a hell of a drug.
