#beginswith #first if there was a muse for the beats it was probably Neal.This is a book of his writings , some people thought he might have been a great writer yet he was so wild , live fast,love hard ,drive fast talking a mile a minute. An irresistible man to some,he would often not be the best to keep his promises or live up to responsibilities.I‘m paraphrasing Kerouac who said if he had $150 he‘d burn through it ,yet make that last $5 endure.

Pickpick

The First Third is my favorite work of literature. The rhythm is faster than light, the story and style are natural and sincere, and Cassady is just ridiculously cool
