.........

He captured it from the start-- "like a Roman candle"...

succinct capture
snapshot in time
time machine back
jack in the box....

typing on a roll of paper
so it won't quit before he does

thanks

Jack took some shit for hanging around in parts of town "where he didn't belong," but it's been a rough few centuries, I mean, once the barons and bulls got more serious about taking slaves. Of all kinds..

He'd skip school to hangout with jazzmen into the wee hours of the morn and get the feel for Bop.......Horace Mann prep school, where he had to take courses in order to get into Columbia U.

And then he caught that feeling in writing. He wrote in Bop, and some of his jazz scenes were amazing. A literary breakthrough. The jazzmen were looking for freedom too, and seemed to have found it. He certainly had his faults as a writer, but when he was on, he was on...

Jack once flowed like a peaceful river. He should see what we have now!
He'd be part of the chaos and confusion that surrounds us today, the 21stC.

Picture myself in a bar with jack and listening to his stories

If u were around before 1969 u woulda had him
