The good times rolled on last night with BOB STIRNER and The DEAD ALCHEMISTS, Live at Dharma Bums 4/20. I had the honor and pleasure of filling in on sound again for the great Larry Levin. The band kicked ass as they always do, and the crowd was definitely psyched to devour their favorite band’s music. Some excellent musical highlights and a very well selected setlist. It was a really fun night front to back. I love working Bob Stirner & all the bands he puts together. Big thanks to Bob for having me, all the band members, Steve & the staff at Dharma Bums, and all you folks that came out to support live Grateful Dead music. We do it all for you. Yep, my job rocks!

Greetings friends. After years of sitting around and hauling an unfinished piece from house to house, I finally managed to finish this one off once and for all. The idea came to me after talking Kerouac with an old colleague of mine at Whole Foods, sometime around 2013-14 or so. I can’t quite remember what led to him saying it, but he blurted out the phrase and it stuck with me since. ••• As a Kerouac geek it just got to me. I went home and found the image I used to apply to the painting, but I wanted to figure out a way of executing it without having to freehand over some grid that I couldn’t figure out how to scale. I had the stencils for the letters done and ready, but I couldn’t figure out the picture. And thus, it sat for years unfinished. ••• This past autumn I saw a Netflix doc on Andy Warhol and was reminded of the fact that he used a projector to trace his images onto canvas. After seeing that the idea hit and the rest of the painting eventually worked itself out over the last few months. The image is technically a stencil that I found on the internet, which made tracing is that much easier (though it feels like cheating a bit 😂).

Life lessons from the city street windows. I used to be obsessed with Kerouac and his beaknik crew of poet wanderers. I read all of their books. I even followed their trails down through Big Sur and read poetry on the same cliffs they wrote it. I went to the bars that were the hippie meeting places of the beat generation (the good bad and terrible all happened here). Kerouac practiced Buddhism alongside many other faiths. He meditated but also got into a lot of mischief. His story is one of the great seeker generation. And walking past this sign this morning makes me so happy for the decades of yoga and mindfulness trainings I’ve done and the poetry I’ve read and even the wild wanders I had in my youth that all worked together to lead me to my sweet little spot of service in this world today ❤️ #beatnik #dharmabums #ontheroad #yogateacher

Ignorant strangers may have thought these mountains innocently serene; yet what Ludwig loved about them was their superhuman solemnity, the grave melancholy of the untouched valleys, the black crests, the forbidding ravines and rocks, the motionless mountains. Whenever he could manage, Ludwig spent the nights in one of the several primitive hunting huts which his father had built all over the Bavarian Alps. There Ludwig sat for hours, all by himself in front of a primitive stove, heaping logs on the fire, reading, dreaming: while outside, in the eternal rigour of the Alpine altitudes, glaciers reflected the frozen moon.

Siempre me ha fascinado la figura del errante: vagabundos, peregrinos, caballeros andantes, sannyasines, locos de Dios que merodean por los márgenes de la sociedad. Por eso venero a Le Mat, arcano mayor del Tarot de Marsella (posteriormente The Fool), porque explica esa figura a través de una compleja simbología. El único arcano sin número, fuera de serie, descastado, camina entre la Nada y el Uno, haciendo girar al mundo con la energía de sus pasos. Aquí, y por exigencias del guión, lo desdoblé a partir de la versión modernista de Rider-Waite y de una guisa más castellana. Gracias a las geniales @cabeza_degallo por confiarme el arte de este single. 🙏 #albumcoverart #illustration #tarot #lemat #psychedelicart #symbolism #pilgrim #perceval #dharmabums #melmoth #starrover #rimbaud #mantazamorana

Most people when sent into town to buy shoes, might do that. Or maybe end up in the pub and blow it all on beer. Or return empty handed but with the money. Or maybe a food mixer, TV, a hat that doesn't suit. I came back with some classic literature and a notebook (expensive) instead of shoes, which seemed like a fair exchange. The intention was good though. #catch22 #josephheller #crimeandpunishment #dostoyevsky #tinkertailorsoldierspy #johnlecarre #seizetheday #saulbellow #dharmabums #jackkerouac @waterstones @waterstonessheffield #literature #classicliterature #modernclassics #westerncanon #russianliterature #americanliterature #englishliterature #spynovel #georgesmiley #reading #books #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #naturebooks #booksworthreading #bookstack #nonfictionbooks #bookshelf

I love you @drewm_7171 more then I could ever put into words..11 years ago we started something and I promise you that I will finish it for the both of us..I have so many pictures I could post but Im going to keep it short and sweet..& I’m real sorry I know the 5th post is a real turn on for some of you I know he never would of posted that we’re both too humble to want our egos stroked…I’ve always had some quote or something meaningful to say when I post on Instagram but my mind is so lost right now so ima keep it light hearted…there’s so much I want to say but sometimes it’s just best to say nothing of any significance…me and @drewm_7171 weren’t meant to fit in this American society if you really know us so our two favorite books #dharmabums & #siddhartha is the reason we started our journeys after reading those books..and what I can tell you is no 9-5 job-waking up every morning to the same routine-settling in some relationships outta fear of a number will ever be the reason for the search of life to stop…I am so happy for every friend I have who is happy with there life please don’t take that the wrong way…buddhism isn’t just some hippy shit Buddhism hits those the hardest who have suffered the most and now have been awakened.. #samsara R.I.P brother I don’t know what ima do without you..but you always told me how much you loved my poems/writings and my photos so maybe I’ll start to share them again…catch you on the dark side brother (it’s a Pink Floyd reference)

Since I read #dharmabums by #jackkerouac I’ve been fascinated by the idea of serving in a fire watch tower. I see me doing this in my old age. I also think it’s hilarious that this fire watch person is reading Norman Mailer and there are TWO books about sailing in this tower. In Montana. Also, how cool that they are making violins!?!

Happy Birthday Jack Kerouac I have lots of things to teach you now, in case we ever meet, concerning the message that was transmitted to me under a pine tree in North Carolina on a cold winter moonlit night. It said that Nothing Ever Happened, so don't worry. It's all like a dream. Everything is ecstasy, inside. We just don't know it because of our thinking-minds. But in our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright forever and forever and forever. Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, which was taught in immense milky way soft cloud innumerable worlds long ago and not even at all. It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity. It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing. It's a dream already ended. There's nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about. I know this from staring at mountains months on end. They never show any expression, they are like empty space. Do you think the emptiness of space will ever crumble away? Mountains will crumble, but the emptiness of space, which is the one universal essence of mind, the vast awakenerhood, empty and awake, will never crumble away because it was never born. #dharmabums #ontheroad #jackkerouac #gofurther #whyihunt #beyondthekill #prose #wideopenspaces #wildandscenic #wildandfree #openroad #optoutside #alpinetosea #breathe

“I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.” -Kerouac This picture was taken during a solo adventure to Jack Kerouac’s hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts. I was in my twenties, freshly single, and ready to forge my own path in life. I was called to venture to the hallowed ground of a writer who inspired me and unveiled truth in a powerful and moving way, a way that only quality literature is capable of. The beat generation writers forever changed my perception of the world around me, captivated my intrigue, and ignited an ever growing passion to write. Honoring him on his birthday by re-reading The Subterraneans. A moody rainy day novel. In between i’m pondering beat writers like Diane di Prima, Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Elise Cowen, Denise Levertov, Jack Hirschman, and Richard Brautigan…among others, with a reminiscent sense of nostalgia. I’ve noticed that particular writers resurface when I’m in certain phases of life. I feel the energy of transition and an exciting, though intimidating, pull towards the unknown. It’s comforting to have writers i love nestled in my corner amidst blank chapters that perch on the horizon. #poetry #immortalbeatgeneration #kerouac #writer #poems #fiction #novels #pisces #lowell #ontheroad #dharmabums #subterraneans @kerouacumass @kerouacestate @beatliterature @jackkerouacfoundation

“I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling.” Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums .

I carried that book in my back pocket, as I traveled across America, many times in the 1980s - into the West of MY future. #jackkerouac #beatpoets #ontheroad #sanfrancisco #dharmabums

Happy Birthday Jack Kerouac! An American novelist and poet born Jean-Louis Kerouac March 12, 1922 in Lowell, Massachusetts to parents of French-Canadian extraction, Kerouac's classic American road novel On the Road is cited by Robert Pirsig himself in Lila as a culture-carrying book for the Hippie movement, and is often compared to Pirsig's novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Published in 1957, On the Road was a landmark of the Beat generation and the Counter-culture that followed. Typed on a scroll that allowed Kerouac to continuously write on a typewriter without stopping to load paper, On the Road captured the hedonism and disenchantment of the Beats, documenting jazz, poets, and drug use on a road trip over three weeks. Kerouac's second novel The Dharma Bums would share with Pirsig interest in Eastern philosophy and Zen Buddhism, but Kerouac was stung by criticism of his novel from Buddhist leaders. Sadly, Kerouac died at the age of 47 in 1969 of an abdominal hemorrhage after a lifetime of heavy drinking. LEARN MORE...
