Review

Poeticus Interruptus, November 13, 2011

This review is from: One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road (Hardcover)

The Beat Generation saga of the love quadrangle among Neal Cassady, LuAnne Henderson, Jack Kerouac and Carolyn Cassady heats up here both off and on the road and still running. Luanne is perhaps a controversial figure: considered the one true love of Neal's. This is not to say that his love for Carolyn was false. Not surprising that the book comes out now, as "On the Road," the first legit film based on Kerouac's work is due to be released soon; and LuAnne's story, as portrayed by the mainstream actress Kristen Stewart, is bound to introduce the character to an entirely new (and huge) set of fans. Also perhaps the legal tide against the current ownership of the Kerouac estate has loosened the will of Beat historian Nicosia, whose contribution with Henderson's daughter has stirred these embers, some still glowing with brilliant insight into an era that forever needs to be understood.

"November," by Malcolm Guite

2011-11-11T22:06:00.001-08:00

November

November pierces with its bleak remembrance
Of all the bitterness and waste of war.
Our silence tries but fails to make a semblance
Of that lost peace they thought worth fighting for.
Our silence seeths instead with wraiths and whispers
And all the restless rumour of new wars,
The shells are singing as we sing our vespers,
No moment is unscarred, there is no pause,
In every instant bloodied innocence
Falls to the weary earth, and whilst we stand
Quiescence ends again in acquiescence,
And Able's blood still cries in every land
One silence only might redeem that blood
Only the silence of a dying God.

One and Only, by Gerald Nicosia and Anne Marie Santos

Dead Kennedys' Guitarist East Bay Ray Announces Album

Dead Kennedys Guitarist East Bay Ray Announces Album

The Killer Smiles "S/T" set for worldwide release

on September 13, 2011

Influential Dead Kennedys guitarist East Bay Ray announces the release of the self-titled debut album of his new band, East Bay Ray and The Killer Smiles. The record will come out September 13 via MVD Audio. The twelve new tracks were produced by Paul Leary, Butthole Surfers' guitarist and widely known for producing Sublime's massive self-titled CD and their single "Santeria."

Along with Ray's distinctive sound, the recording also features the voice and lyrics of Skip McSkipster from the Wynonna Riders and recent Dead Kennedys' tours.

As East Bay Ray describes the album: "While Skip and I were touring in the DKs, we started writing a batch of new songs and wanted to record them. And then Paul Leary, who the DKs used to play with in warehouses back in the day, took a liking to the project and he ended up producing it."

Skip declares, "Working with a guitarist of Ray's caliber has allowed me to more fully explore where my vocals can go. People will find the album very wide-ranging and a good start for where the band will take us"

They are joined on the album by drummer Steve Wilson and bassist Greg Reeves, both who have also filled in on several major Dead Kennedys tours.

Crazy Baby by Penelope Houston

poem

2011-06-27T22:11:00.000-07:00

i sing of love's purity

while my anger rises from my chest

as my drawers slip down my

waist

unbroken chain of being, how can I hold you?

I don't need to,

the summer signs into my heart and

the warmth melts my ire as

I too am into the reason that

sunlight now seems forever
