Dear Bret, take a look at this surviving "hipster" - in the truest and most respectable sense of the term, just as applied in your great post. Timely warning worthy of consideration - framed by a suggestive and beautiful background curtain- before the next presidential election in the U.S.: https://twitter.com/CornelWest/status/1724867403195023433 . Cuídate mucho; un abrazo desde la Ciudad de México.

An emphatic yes to the memory of Maynard G. Krebs!! Like it or not, he was an enormous influence on the nonconformist wing of boomer culture, and strangely, future generations. Bob Denver gave us much more than Gilligan.

Wow! Lots to digest here, Bret. I never heard Kerouac read it aloud. Breathtaking.

Thanks Bret. Loved the Lenny film, especially to see how charged up he was to have those great musicians on his show. The "fours" with Philly Jo Jones lit him up. All the best to you in Mexico!
