Book Reviews of Why Kerouac Matters: The Lessons of On the Road (They're Not What You Think)
Book Review: The age of be bop and the age of cultural change after World War II
Summary: 5 Stars
Charlie Parker and Jack Kerouac blasted out of the cultural mode of WWII into wide-open uncensored music and sex. Eclectic feelings poured out of the music and virginity was shrugged off. America was about to become be-bop. Was it all a reaction to the Great Depression and then World War II?
