freaks on drugs
Ha, ha, maybe the most succinct appraisal of these losers. They did leave a lot of beatnik jokes behind. Never met one person who would admit to being a beatnik. Mostly just another west and east coast collection of life's losers who thought they'd find nirvana in drugs. Like the hippies.
glad they never made it to so. California.
I might have missed it since I was 22 and working my tail off running a company in 1959.
