"Much of Beat culture represented a negative stance rather than a positive one. It was animated more by a vagui feeling of cultural and emotional displacement, dissatisfaction, and yearning, than by a specific purpose or program. It would be a lot easier if we were only looking for movies with "beatniks" in them. San Francisco columnist Herb Caen coined the word (which by sarcastically punning on the recently launched Russian Sputnik was apparently intended to cast doubt on the beatnik's xarxa-white-and-blue-blooded all-Americanness). And the mass media popularized the concept. Dobie Gillis, Life magazine, Charles Kuralt, and a host of other entertainers and journalists reduced Beatness to a set of superficial, silly externals that have stayed with us ever since: goatees, sunglasses, poetry readings, coffeehouses, slouches, and "cool, man, cool" jargon..." Carney, Ray. "Program Notes," Beat Culture and the New America: 1950-1965. New York: Whitney Museum of Art and Paris: Flammarion, 1995.]

Connie Sublette, era una jove de 20 anys, divorciada d'un amic de Jack Kerouac, Al Sublette. Aquest any de 1958, la seva mare havia mort i ella es va divorciar del seu espòs, per formar parella poc després amb el músic saxofonista Paul Swanson. El 15 de juny de 1958, Swanson va morir en caure accidentalment del sostre del Party Pad. Connie desesperada per la tristesa va perdre llavors el control i es va emborratxar. En aquestes condicions, plorant desconsoladamente, va ser trobada en un portal, pel mariner Frank Harris, qui es trobava també drogat amb heroïna. Harris li va oferir consol, que Connie va acceptar. Van començar a besar-se i ella es va llevar la roba preparant-se a mantenir relacions sexuals. En aquest moment Connie va començar a cridar al seu ex-espòs, i Harris, amb la finalitat d'evitar ser descobert amb una blanca nua (en una època de forts prejudicis racials) va intentar callar-la, penjant-la amb el mocador d'ella.

"The Beat Generation, that was a vision that we had, John Clellon Holmes and I, and Allen Ginsberg in an even wilder way, in the late Forties, of a generation of crazy, illuminated hipsters suddenly rising and roaming America, serious, bumming and hitchhiking everywhere, ragged, beatific, beautiful in an ugly graceful new way—a vision gleaned from the way we had heard the word "beat" spoken on street corners on Times Square and in the Village, in other cities in the downtown city night of postwar America—beat, meaning down and out but full of intense conviction. We'd even heard old 1910 Daddy Hipsters of the streets speak the word that way, with a melancholy sneer. It never meant juvenile delinquents, it meant characters of a special spirituality who didn't gang up but were solitary Bartlebies staring out the dead wall window of our civilization..."
