Beats were the original counter-culure and anti-establishment group. It's funny to think that marijuana, coffee, jazz, and poetry used to be considered unusual...

We have come a long way in 60 years.

Beats were probably the first Western group that also embraced tikies.

Favorite Beatnik Lingo:

Croaker: a physician who writes scripts
Cornball Creep/ John Square: an unhip conformist
86'd: banned or told to leave
Eye Heavy: Drunk
To Freeze: Snub someone
To Front the Necessary: Give $ upfront
Make the run: buying booze
A Poke: wallet
A popcorn: someone with alegitamate job
Sides: records
