21. Neal Cassady Memories of neal from his old Prankster friends. http://www.intrepidtrips.com/pranksters/neal/

Woe onto those who spit on the Beat Generation. The wind'll blow it back. ~Jack Kerouac And here comes Neal ...to somehow make it across the boundariless spread of America to San Fran and Carolyn again; to gritty railyard toil of couplings, lanterns and Aztec complexities of accordianed freight-schedules, the big watch yanked out of the pocket, snorings in the caboose over the clattering miles, time-caged Time that could only be eluded by continual energy-expenditure that had its source in Time "keep a step ahead, keep your mind ahead" (I heard his insistent voice) "don't butt your dumb head against their walls, man! - look for doors, and then GO - Just leave them snarled up in their worries, their motives - it's their kick man, it's their dreary high - But, listen - never knock the way the other cat swings " - how wearying, now, for me to think of his days drenched in adrenaline, his heart driven out by dawn, his will accepting all contingencies, beating towards the Unknown, straight on out of the kitchen-table compromises, the street wise chicanery, the square machineries of interpersonal relations, the sinister repetitions of the hour-hand, towards - what? Who knew? Did he? The stubborn, ungraspable hope that became the obsession of the prisoned spirit in his body. ~John Clellon Holmes Why'd he come on that bus trip anyway? It happened in '64.

22. American Legends Interviews..... An original interview with Carolyn cassady on neal cassady and the Beats. http://www.americanlegends.com/Interviews/carolyn_cassidy.html

Carolyn Cassady - On Jack and Neal Carolyn Robinson first met Neal Cassady in 1947 in Denver, Colorado, where she was getting her MA degree in Theater and Fine Arts at the University of Denver. Neal was then a self-taught intellectual and already a legendary ladies man who had grown up in Denver flophouses and pool halls. Early stages of his involvement with Carolyn were fictionalized in Jack Kerouac's On the Road where Carolyn was called "Camille." She was called "Evelyn" in subsequent Kerouac novels and her actual name was used in Some of the Dharma . Neal, of course, was the irrepressible "Dean Moriarty" in On the Road AL: How did Neal feel about being the central figure in On the Road CC: Neal had mixed emotions about his role in On the Road . Of course, he got a little ego boost but mainly he was unhappy about it because Jack glorified all the aspects about his character he was trying so hard to overcome. Jack may have intuited Neal's feelings somewhat because he often wrote that he hoped no one felt badly about his writing about them. Neal certainly did not resent Jack's fame. There were never two more mutual admirers than those two. AL: Neal was also a central character in Tom Wolfe's book ( The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test ) about the Merry Prankstersthe group that drove around San Francisco with Ken Kesey in a bus painted in psychedelic colors.

Literary Kicks Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards Neal Cassady "The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to Nevereverland" ('The Other One', Grateful Dead "N.C., secret hero of these poems ..." Howl ' by Allen Ginsberg The real genius behind the Beat movement in literature never published a book during his life. He appeared as a main character in many books, though, from 'Go' by John Clellon Holmes to 'On The Road' by Jack Kerouac to 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test' by Tom Wolfe. His free-flowing letter writing style inspired the young Kerouac to break his ties to the sentimental style he'd picked up from Thomas Wolfe and invent his notion of 'spontaneous prose.' Without Neal Cassady, the Beat Generation would never have happened. Neal Cassady was born on February 8, 1926 and raised by an alcoholic father in the skid row hotels of Denver 's Larimer Street. A car thief with a unique ability to charm strangers,he spent time in reform schools and juvenile prisons and developed the suave instincts of a con artist, although he never seemed to want to con anybody out of more than a ten-dollar bill, a roll in the hay or a good conversation. A friend named Hal Chase left Denver to enroll at Columbia University , and Cassady traveled to New York to visit him in December 1946. It was here that he met Kerouac and Ginsberg. Ginsberg immediately fell in love with him, and Cassady, who had a hustler's instinct to be whatever the person he's with wants him to be, began a sexual relationship with Ginsberg, balancing it with the numerous heterosexual relationships he enjoyed more. At the same time, he persuaded Kerouac to teach him how to write fiction.

Dinsmore, 2000 RLIN Record ID: Table of Contents Biographical Sketch Scope and Contents Folder List Index of Correspondents Biographical Sketch Neal Leon Cassady, Jr., 1926-1968, was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, while his parents were traveling from Iowa to Hollywood, California. Neal's father earned a living intermittently as a barber, and his mother had been widowed and already had seven children before marrying the senior Cassady. Neal was six when his parents separated and Neal went to live with his father in the slums of Denver. Exposed at an early age to poverty, alcoholism, and the despair to which men can be driven, young Neal learned to use his intellect to move up in the world. A good reader with an excellent memory, and eager to be liked by authority figures, he did well in school and pushed himself to be a good athlete, playing football and running track. While he was impressing teachers and coaches at school, he was also becoming involved in petty crime, eventually becoming a car thief. He had been arrested six times by the age of 21. Cassady frequently ran away from home and around the age of 15 he began trading in on his good looks and worked as a male prostitute. An attorney, the nephew of one of Cassady's clients, took an interest in his welfare and endeavored to help him better himself. Besides helping him out of legal difficulties he introduced Cassady to Hal Chase, a student at Columbia University.

26. Neal Cassady And The Modern American Writer An article linking cassady to many authors as their source of inspiration. http://mathlab.mathlab.sunysb.edu/~ethanol/cassady.html

A LTHOUGH his likeness appeared in the works of many authors, the three who were closest to Neal Cassady, best translated his spirit into the written word, and left the strongest record of the exploits of this modern American folk hero are Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Ken Kesey. With Ginsberg and Kerouac, Cassady explored America physically and spiritually more fully than any who went before. They were, as Kerouac said, a beat generation. With Kesey, Cassady became a fountain from which poured the teachings of his soul and his experience. A LLEN Ginsberg was introduced to Neal Cassady in 1946 in New York City and was instantly enamored. The young Jewish poet from Paterson, New Jersey saw Cassady as an ideal hero and mate. "For the poet Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady was a man in whom spiritual and sexual energies were harmonious and complementary."( Daybreak Boys , 161) Their early relationship and Cassady's later rejection of Ginsberg both had a significant effect on Ginsberg's writing.("Then and Now", 50) Cassady was Ginsberg's connection to a collective American spirit. Ginsberg was an American poet, yet he felt painfully separated from American society. He had trouble communicating even with other literary figures.(

Features Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives The Beat Goes Down Skye Dunlap The Road Ends Here: Current owner Hemmie Schechter watches as a bulldozer demolishes the former home of Beat Generation luminary Neal Cassady. Neal Cassady's houseonce a pit stop for Kerouac and Ginsberg, bites the dust By Clarence Cromwell D URING THE 1950s, Neal Cassady's house at 18231 Bancroft Ave. was a frequent stop for Beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. In the '60s, the guest list included novelist Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . Cassady once drove Kesey's psychedelic bus Furthur up Bancroft Avenue with the transmission stuck in reverse as wide-eyed neighbors watched the multicolored, wired-for-sound spectacle. On Aug. 22, it took less than five minutes for a bulldozer to destroy Cassady's former home, a small, olive-green ranch house. At about 8:25am a bulldozer nearly as high as the building roared to life in the driveway. The operator spun the monster 180 degrees to face the building and leveled the garage in two passes, then turned to the left and plowed into the main part of the house. Within five minutes, a pile of lumber and bricks remained to be loaded into a huge blue dumpster on the lawn. A group of 10 or so spectators grew to about 15 as nearby neighbors wandered outside to watch the demolition machine. John Cassady, son of Neal and Carolyn Cassady, taped the demolition on a video recorder and reminisced with his boyhood pal Bill Reimer.

29. Neal's Denver by Andrew Burnett. all the city was to become my playground neal cassady, The First Third Carolyn cassady. An Interview with John cassady (neal s Son). http://www.litkicks.com/Denver/

A Personal Exploration and Beat Baedeker by Andrew Burnett "...all the city was to become my playground..." Neal Cassady, The First Third "Neal is a colossus risen to Destroy Denver!" Jack Kerouac to Allen Ginsberg, As Ever Allen Ginsberg, Howl. If you're visiting Denver, or if you just wish you were, try one of these tours: The Bona Fide Beat Train The Beat Beatific Shuttle The Beat Automobile Tour In the winter of 1995, only two blocks remain of the Larimer Street Neal Cassady knew. For forty years Larimer used to stretch as one long skid-row for most of its 25-block length, but today only two true skid-row blocks remain, between 20th and 22nd: bars that open at eight in the morning (signs say "No children after 5:00"); pawn shops where Cassady very likely pawned anything he could get his hands on for quick cash; a 12-step recovery shelter, three bars, two liquor stores, a barber shop, and a Mexican bakery. At most, maybe three men are unconscious now on any given morning, where once there'd have been fifteen or twenty (gentrification has moved the shelters almost ten blocks north). Instead of Larimer, the men wait for the sun to come up at 23rd and Curtis. Denver isn't much but it'll do. It's a fact that American cities are increasingly homogeneous: shopping malls horrify in the same way in Newark as they do in Phoenix; inner cities are run down and then gentrified in the same ways everywhere. If a Beat site remains in Denver it's only because it was ignored from the end of World War II into the nineties: over fifty years of being so useless that no one even cared to tear it down. And for the most part if there's any change at all in a Denver Beat site, it's because the building was so worthless and damaged that it was worth more flattened than intact.
