If I do, it looks like a great many people agree with me that Jack Kerouac
and Harlan Ellison have written a few "classics":
http://tinyurl.com/Classic-Kerouac
And:
http://tinyurl.com/Classic-Ellison
If you'd get out of all those crap "Magick" and junky "self-help" books and
actually read something not worthless, maybe you'd learn about classic
writers like Ellison and Kerouac, Corey.
Or maybe just "get over yourself"... heh.

word classic mean to you? It's just a descriptor, Will. You act like
I'm trying to put your buddy's down for not being fancy enough. I'm
not putting them down, Will. They just have their place, and their
place isn't in the classics section of the library or bookstore. I've
read lots of both authors, and I'm happy to discuss them with you, but
it's not a contest here to see who knows more about whoever, or who's
favorites are better than whoever else's. And what the heck makes you
think I even read Magick or Self-help books? I really don't, ever. I
read mostly political rags and commentary, science and medical
journals related to cannabis. That's my thing. I thought you knew
that. I really don't know why you keep harping about Magick and
whatnot.

To be fair, I must admit to some knowledge of and interest in Magick,

particularly as it relates to alt.magick where I also post regularly.
I don't know everything, but if you ever have any questions in that
regard I may be able to point you in the right direction. I've given
away virtually all of my texts, but I still remember a few things.

While I've never made the claim that there was any literal connection
between Harlan Ellison and the Beat writers, or Kerouac in specific,
there is the "connection" that Kerouac and the Beats had an impact &
influence on all of Ellison's generation.

an insult. There's nothing to learn. Insults are stupid. You don't
learn from them. You just take it. Some people can take them and some
people can't. Some people are insulted by the stupidest things. I've
seen people insulted by bullets and bombs and disease and destitution
and seen how they're treated, and mistreated. Now that's insulting.

provided by the two of you here, it appears that your understanding of
the two authors and their respective material is comparable to one
another and surprisingly mutual. Who knew you'd ever find something or

You didn't do that though. The subject asks a question. The body of
your post doesn't help the reader in that it doesn't supply, support
or suggest an answer other than that you apparently think that Ellison
thinks of himself as an American classic. Is that what you meant to

I find your writing sloppy and loaded with what I find to be spews of
gibberish.
Maybe "anybody" would not agree with me but that hardly matters,
because that's my perspective, that's what I get out of your poetry.
And this isn't the first time we've gone around and around about this.

writing is sloppy and loaded with spews of gibberish, that's fine. It
doesn't bother me at all. But people are going to judge you by what
you say in juxtaposition to what you're talking about and wonder if
you know what you're talking about, that's all.

point out exactly what I mean, since I'd say most likely you'll be
posting another poem like the dozens of yours I've read that fall into
this area I describe.
Out of dozens I think there's like two of your poems that escape this
problem, your groovy poem for Angel, and another one I can't remember
the name of right now... maybe another, but I'm too groggy to name it
right now, either.

Already, the title "Night Star" sounds pretty good... kind of swamped
