Gregory Corso, Lowell, MA 1986
Visiting the religious grotto described by Jack Kerouac in his book, Doctor Sax
My view of Corso is forever tainted by a scene in the film The Source, wherein he throws a fit during a discussion of Kerouac, saying "...my stuff puts most of his [or their, referring to the other known Beats] to shame."
So this picture is classic to me. Gregory stands beneath the savior, not revering but planning.
"Savior, huh? Sounds good."
He stood there for an hour and a half trying to figure out who you have to blow to get yourself nailed to a cross.
If you have to ask, maybe it just ain't to be.
