It was aesthetic and it was spiritual and if a little extra substance helped them find Nirvana, so much the better it seemed. Along the way they created their anarchic poetry and prose, breaking down the walls defending so-called High Art Culture and banging on the doors of the literary establishment, who hid from the onslaught in fear that their day was over. Though I never met the luminaries of that scene, I knew many writers and musicians who followed in their wake and took that road, in part or in full, who honed their styles and collected experiences that were later to come alive in novels, poems and songs and in anecdotes shared over drinks in hotels and bars. … Allan Taylor, July 2003.
