The Beats writers were a force in American culture for decades. But are they still relevant today? Are they great writers or just curious cultural figures? Does anyone under 40 still care about them? We talk Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, along with other figures like Gary Snyder, Kenneth Rexroth and few words on Celine, Herbert Hunke and Neil Cassidy.
