Well, I remember be-bop from the forties. And I went to school with Pete Seeger's brother, and visited the Seeger houseboat on the Hudson...And so forth. The forties were much more exciting. And in the fifties it got too expensive in the Village for real artists, and they started spilling over into the Polish-Ukrainian section (where my husband and I lived an impecunious life in a cold water flat) to the east, which much later acquired the designation of the "East Village.' (East Village my foot -- it was immigrant housing for immigrants.) The reason there was so much of a hullaballoo over the "Beats", as I recall, is because they were perceived as "different" from the "mainstream." The "mainstream" was a very 50's concept. I am not sure of that actually, but it sounds good. <g> In the '50's, reading "Howl" on the subway was how you made a political statement. No demonstrations, oh, no...
