Query: Probably not your best bet

Although the title seems promising, the actual text is a little wanting. Vacillating between "I was there" interviews and relying upon sources like Kenneth Rexroth (who although a fine poet had a Bunyan-sized axe to grind against the Beats), there's lots there that doesn't seem to ring true, and more than a little hero-worship (Michael McClure as "half a Hell's Angel" because he owned a Triumph? I'm not buying it). But, if, like me, you've read every other portrayal of the Beats this one can't hurt you, I'm also convinced it won't help you....
