a documentary tonight called The Source. It was very very good in many ways, and although to a great extent I’ve gotten over my young man’s fascination with Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and the rest, I still believe them to be absolutely central to a lot of what we consider “contemporary” North American culture – including “digital culture”. You can draw a straight line, for instance, from Kerouac to the EFF, and it’s not that long a line (Kerouac — Cassidy — Garcia/Weir — Barlow).
