Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg Visit the Grave of Jack Kerouac (1979)


"Above you can watch a rare 1979 meeting, of sorts, of three hugely influential twentieth-century cultural minds: Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, and — in spirit, anyway — Jack Kerouac, who died ten years before. This clip, though brief, would be fascinating enough by itself, but Sean Wilentz provides extensive backstory in 'Penetrating Aether: The Beat Generation and Allen Ginsberg’s America,' an essay fron the New Yorker."
