>much Kerouac?  

yeah, kyle has read two kerouac books during the ill tempered and
tempestuious time he spent as an undergrad at rowan university. he rapidly
discovered that ANY kerouac was way too much kerouac. 

to drive this little golf cart of a post back onto the green, in michael 
stipe's horrible leica book "2x intro" there is only one photograph that's
actually in focus (that's how you can tell he's using a leica i guess), a
good shot of alan ginsburg holding an m6 back stage at some patti smith
show. if you see the book in your barns & ignoble, flip through and catch
the shot.

see how nicely that all tied up? kerouac, ginsburg, leica. ah....
