"I go to school to learn how not to do things." Besides, the beats owe everything to Cummings. They are all just second generation hacks when it comes down to it (although good hacks!)... and e.e. is only an echo and extension of a sentiment that has been running through humanity for all time... But I believe e.e. can best refute the idea of a beat college himself: "I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten million stars how not to dance."--ZAPP --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to Original Article:Someone was telling me once about a beat college somewhere in either New York or Colorado maybe (oh heck, I can't remember where it was...it's not important) where you study ginsberg, kerouac, burroughs, cassady, etc and then for your senior thesis, you either have to spend an entire year in jail or as a bum (following the footsteps of the great beats). When you get through, you write all about it. I thought that was really odd. I think it would be a cool school to go to, but I would probably drop out before having to do the thesis (maybe that's the third option, I dunno). Anyway, this message string had just got a little too sober, so I thought I'd lighten it up a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making light of the subject, just lightening it up. Now that that's settled..."don't you know that God is pooh-bear?"
