This book reveals the ideas behind the Beat vision which influenced
the Beat sound of the songwriters who followed on from them. Having
explored the thinking of Alan Watts, who coined the term 'Beat
Zen', and who influenced the counterculture which emerged out of
the Beat movement, it celebrates Jack Kerouac as a writer in
pursuit of a 'beatific' vision. On this basis, the book goes on to
explain the relevance of Kerouac and his friends Allen Ginsberg and
Gary Snyder to songwriters who emerged in the 1960s. Not only are
new, detailed readings of the lyrics of the Beatles and of Dylan
given, but the range and depth of the Beat legacy within popular
song is indicated by way of an overview of some important
innovators: Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Donovan,
the Incredible String Band, Van Morrison and Nick Drake. -- .
