Geometry by Ken Kesey
void-of-self-loathing: If you draw a line Precisely safe and parallel to mine, We can sail together Clear on past the stars And never meet. And since the holes between These points of distant heat Are deep and blind, Sight a course for collision And hang on tight! …the precision of our loving Is the lethal kind.

I was thinking of doing one on how the Beats influenced subsequent youth generations (beatniks, hippies, punks, Naropa), but I don't know. I want to talk about all the cool history- like the Columbia years and time on the road, etc....
