Jack Kerouac Meets William F. Buckley (1968)

in Literature | May 9th, 2009 2 Comments

Rewind the video­tape to 1968. Jack Ker­ouac, author of On the Road, appears (seem­ing­ly drunk) on William F. Buck­ley’s “Fir­ing Line.” As you’ll see, this meet­ing of the Beat and the father of mod­ern Amer­i­can con­ser­vatism is not exact­ly filled with sub­stance. But the clip has some his­tor­i­cal curios­i­ty. You can find more Ker­ouac video and audio on the Dig­i­tal Beat web site.
