Found some videos on the Beat Generation, featuring the Great Beats themselves. First, we have Kerouac explaining what else, but On the Road, on the Steve Allen show. Hope this works.
Yes, it worked. Ha ha. And here's a rare video of Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady. Allen Ginsberg is the one with the beard. He wrote Howl, which caused a big obsenety trial because it was the 1950's and there was refrences the homosexual fantasies. Neal Cassady wrote a bunch of letters and the first bit of an autobiography, but is best known for being the inspiration for Dean Moriarty in On the Road. A comment on Youtube said that he had Kramer like facial twiches, which you can see in the third video.
And finally, some William S. Burroughs. I love his voice.
