A part of American folklore that dates back to the end of the Civil War, hobos forged a distinct counterculture along the lonely railroad tracks that are the backbone of America. In pieced-together camps (“jungles”) just far enough from town to avoid law enforcement scrutiny, they created a society with its own laws, etiquette and language. Their numbers swelled during the Great Depression as destitute men crisscrossed the country on freight trains in search of work. The post-Vietnam era produced its own surge of itinerant train travelers as veterans, juvenile delinquents and drug culture casualties sought solace and freedom along the American rails. Today the mantle has been passed (however reluctantly) to squatter punks who started arriving on the scene sometime in the early ’90s.

THE MAN IN THE MAZE
It’s an early wake-up call in the barrio as James Fendenheim, my entrée into all things Tucson, AZ, picks me up in his grumbling Chevy Blazer sometime around 7 a.m. He’s limping a bit, the result of a car accident a few months before. James tells me he’s waiting on some insurance money he hopes will buy him one of those hot little Japanese mini-trucks, but in the meantime, to get us to the rez, we have his temperamental Chevy with its bloodred interior, its chrome-dragon foot pedals, its back window that won’t close, its front door that won’t open, its silver-cobra-headed tire valves, its bestial General Motors engine, its guardian angel at the local Exxon station who will pass any vehicle for inspection for a half ounce, and its “For Sale” sign in the window that reads: 1975 cheyenne blazer, $7,000. The high sticker price attests to James’ attraction to the thing. …READ MOREtags: 15 « add a comment

My favorite story in the book, Painful but Fabulous: The Lives and Art of Genesis P-Orridge (Soft Skull Press, 2003), concerns a night back in ’76 when his performance group, COUM, was appearing at the University of Antwerp. Next to the performance hall, there was an exhibit of poisonous plants. Not content to lay his usual psychosexual visual assault on a bunch of stoned college yobs, Genesis decided to teach them a lesson on life, death, and the precarious relationship they both have with the human body. He stole some poisonous plants and bark from the exhibit next door, washed them down onstage with a bottle of whiskey, then started speaking in tongues and carving messages into his flesh with a rusty nail. He woke up in an emergency room shortly after the attending physician had pronounced him dead.
But a near-death experience comes with the territory Genesis is surveying. For him, the spiritual mandate of the artist …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment

CAROLYN CASSADY: BEAT SURVIVOR
Wed Jan 14, 2004
Story by Chris Simunek
"On the Road was taken by the young as a passport to freedom—or that is, 'forget responsibilities and do anything you feel like.' They didn't look to see that Jack had no responsibilities, but was against ignoring them," explained Carolyn Cassady, wife of Neal Cassady, the real-life model for Kerouac's most enduring literary creation, Dean Moriarty. "So the 'freedom' of the young became license and then chaos. They didn't realize there is no freedom without fences. When he was accorded the titles of 'King of the Beats' and 'Father of the Hippies,' Jack was eventually so depressed at being so misunderstood and misinterpreted, he vowed to drink himself to death. Which he did."
When On the Road was published in 1957 it forever altered the lives of the people upon which the book was based. Kerouac's driving, romantic prose turned the knowledge-hungry, reform school graduate Neal Cassady into a new American …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment
