I just saw that he's still going in San Fran, though. 96 years old. I visited City Lights as a tourist, a couple of times, around 30 years ago.

The Beats were before my time. I appreciate the things that they were saying back then, but haven't read their work, in depth. Not big on Kerouac, but I like Ginsberg and Burroughs.

I didn't see his family connection to those 2 dirtbags in my online search. I can see the family resemblance between Morris and Cohn, though.
