' MULTI-MEDIA EVENT
JAcK-kenouAc Is 81 A" \
\
We Scots cel e a wee dram or a small plnt-ette. But celebrating 81 st birthday of a man is intact dead, reeks a bit of alcoholic desperation. Until you realise the birthday boy in question is Jack Kerouac.
As the author ofg'rfamous novels like On the Road and Subterraneans, Ke c became a valuable er and spokes rson for th at movem t in the 5Qs 60$. Part-autobiographical, Kerouac’s books strug with conformity and reject e then-contemporary s ards. Filmmaker Jack Shea hosts this multi-media evening with performances by Kentucky poet Ron Whitehead, New York’s Frank Massina, mountain singer Sarah Elizabeth and singer- songwriter Allan Taylor. Go raise your glasses people: there’s never been a better excuse for a tipple.
