Get Your Bongos and Start Growing Your Fu-Manch! Beat is Back!

Gloria Ballen writes, "I love the whole Kerouac zeitgeist and I've always thought of myself as a free spirit at heart. I've fantasized about being an enlightened dancing bohemian like Isadora Duncan, a beat poetess like Diane DiPrima, a Janis-like hippie chick. Sure, back in the day I wore patched bell-bottoms, the fringed vest, and smelled of patchouli oil, but it was more about peer pressure than philosophy. I admit it, I'm not sure I'm willing to yank the Sub-Zero out of the wall and swap it for the Sears Kenmore model. As writer Rob Walker puts it, I might be called a "Fauxhemian." Ouch.

In his novel "Dharma Bums," Kerouac wrote about "a vision of a rucksack revolution" - a rejection of consumer society; an unwillingness to be "imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume. . ." Kerouac refused to subscribe to the demand of "having to work for the privilege of consuming all the crap they didn't want anyway."

I did give away the Magic Bullet blender I impulse-ordered watching an infomercial on TV at 2 a.m. one sleepless night, and I recently gave up my bimonthly manicures, the cleaning lady, and Pilates classes. I realize these are just token sacrifices. How do I actually unsubscribe to the lure of mass consumerism? Can't I just "click here to unsubscribe," like online spam? Wouldn't it be nice if we could just hit the delete button or drag and drop our debt, our greed, and our guilt right into the trash? As far as I know, there isn't an app for that on my iPhone.

Seventy-six years ago this week, when the technology of the day was radio, FDR took to the airwaves, in the depths of the Great Depression. His opening fireside chat changed the way politics was communicated, restored confidence in the devastated economy, and gave hope to the poor and the beaten down with his final words, "together we cannot fail."

Maybe this Neo-Beat thing isn't so much a movement as it is a new consciousness to see oneself clearly - a kind of spiritual stimulus package for all of us "fauxhemians." Perhaps what we need to do is dust off the old rucksack, blaze a new trail, and, just like Jack did, challenge the status quo. Hopefully, along the way, we'll find the inner strength to need less, want less, and discover some of the universal dharma in all of us."Gloria Ballen writes, "I love the whole Kerouac zeitgeist and I've always thought of... more
