Text, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll;explores the interaction between two of the most powerful socio-cultural movements in the post-war years - the literary forces of the Beat Generation and the musical energies of rock and its attendant culture. Simon Warner examines the interweaving strands, seeded by the poet/novelists Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and others in the 1940s and 1950s, and cultivated by most of the major rock figures who emerged after 1960 - Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Bowie, The Clash and Kurt Cobain. The result is a highly readable history of the innumerable links between two of the most revolutionary artistic movements of the last 60 years.
