Beat sound, beat vision

"There have been books on the Beats; there have been books on the Beatles; but there has not been a book linking the two. The same is true of Jack Kerouac and Bob Dylan. Nor has there been a study of this range of writers and songwriters, in relation to a central vision. This, then, is the first sustained study of the spiritual revolution made by the Beats and of its impact on popular song." "Beat sound, Beat vision will appeal to all devotees of the Beats and of the songwriters who emerged in the seminal decade of the 1960s. It will also prove useful to students of literature, pop music and religion."--Jacket.
