A song about the
Beat Generation writers--"the San Francisco beat boys," as the lyrics have it--from 10,000 Maniacs' 1987 album
In My Tribe.
Jack Kerouac is front and center, but also featured are
Allen Ginsberg (
Allen baby, why so jaded?/Have the boys all grown up and their beauty faded?) and
William Burroughs (
Billy, what a saint they've made you/just like Mary down in Mexico on All Souls' Day). Howl!
