This is an interesting interview panel. How do you respond in the 50s and 60s to a society intent on militarism as a solution to all the perceived threats? The Beats started what the Hippies took to the streets. A more loving and conscious approach to life. Here we see how Kerouac is faced with his legacy, a changing culture whose tenderness was seen as weakness by the old guard. Yet, a more loving and conscious approach to life is exactly what we need then and now. A snapshot at three generations coming to terms with each other on National tv. Few wanted to die in any war, but the Vietnam war was a hideous prospect to be drafted into. The effect was a generation that rejected violence as a means of solving problems. But only for a short while, as war is a profitable business not soon put to bed unfortunately.
