(In the Fifties, when all the children were supposed to be...)
In the Fifties, when all the children were supposed to be asleep, a gang of jailbirds, drunks and artists germinated in the private parts of Wichita, Kansas. As a friend and compatriot of Ginsberg, Neal Cassady and Herbert Huncke as well as other less-known poets, artists, film makers, junkies, psychos, winos, queens, litle old ladies, cowboys, cops truckdrivers, teamsters, freaks, conmen and criminals, Plymell was at the center of the creation of life style in drugs, music sex, and art which have been exported from San Francisco to become norms for a generation.
