I think we're all bozos on this bus

Jungle, maybe your a beatnick...your rap made me think of Cowboy Neil who is for sure Beat. I'm on the Bolo bus myself;-)

Hmmm, A "Bolo" like Budenny or Beimler? Comrades, raise your fists in salute and join me! (BigBro, Smogbreather help me out):

Vor Madrid in Schutzengraben
In der Stunde der Gefahr
Mit der eisernen Brigaden
Sein Herz voll Hass geladen
Stand Hans, der Kommissar
Stand Hans, der Kommissar

Seine Heimat musst er lassen
Weil er Freiheitskampfer war,
Auf Spaniens blut'gen Strassen
Fur das recht der armen Klassen
Starb Hans, der Komissar
Starb Hans, der Komissar

Eine kugel kam geflogen
Aus der "heimat" fur ihn her,
Der Schuss war gut erwogen
Der Lauf war gut gezogen,
Ein deutsches Scheissgewehr
Ein deutsches Scheissgewehr

Kann dir die Hand draug geben
Derweil ich eben lad
Du bleibst in unserm Leben,
Dem feind wird nicht vergeben
Hans Beimler, Kamerad
Hans Beimler, Kamerad

Just got Munktiki's expresso-nik mug from Outre, very nice. I'm dying for the book but have to wait as I ordered the not quite ready Hardcover. Nice stuff for Tiki/Beat fans, like crazy.

McDougall, me a beat? Naw, just your average family man with a likeness for things slightly to very unusual and different but not too different.

Ten years ago people here were asking "What's a Beatnik ?"

Now we know.

Beatniks are Tiki !!

I don't remember starting this thread.

I always think of Maynard G. Krebs from the Dobie Gillis show.

I still have my dad's black beret from the 50's.
There is a Beat Museum in North Beach San Francisco. I never knew such a place existed. http://www.kerouac.com

He's so hip, he won't eat a square meal...

That Beany & Cecil cartoon is one of my favorite Beatnik parodies.

Here's a whole youtube playlist of beatnik source material:
