Yes I was, but perhaps you and I should throw a few back as well!
I agree with you about Joe. I don't see him as a beatnik at all, but I can kinda see where theJab is coming from(Sandinista comes to mind). Once a guy reaches that folk hero status, the lines start to blur a bit and they speak to people in ways never before intended or imagined. Joe was a unique character that, to me, trancended any and all stereotypes. I feel a little robbed that his light was extinguished when he clearly had so much more to say and contribute.
In the future I'll be more careful w/ the JT referals!
