Uncensored 'On the Road' to be published

[Peter E. Zelz]

The term 'beatniks' rankles.  Kerouac, Ginsburg, Cassady, Corso, et al (et
very few al) were Beats, and did whatever they did in the late '40s and
early '50s.  The 'beatniks', so called, were the
black-turtleneck-and-beret-wearing "Cool, daddy-o" pop culture wanna-be's
who flared up in the, what, mid/late '50s after the Beats' writings were
finally published and readily available.  World o' difference.

Cheers,
z
