The beats were certainly very important to the late 60's revolution
 
Beit Kerouac, Ginsbrurgh, Burroughs or Cassidy, the inspired many musicians and some of those lyrics writers >> Pete Brown's Cream lyrics
 
Sinfield and Keith Reid were also very close to beat poetry.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Don't forget Daevid Allen. He was friends with William S. Burroughs, lived in the famous Beat Hotel for a while, and made music for them. You can definetely see influences of beat poetry in his writing.

Too much hate in this poll Wizard!!!  I voted for Love Them All just because your options are so poor. Beatnik movment is more than Ginsberg poetry or Thompson's travels across USA.. Was a way of life, a way to mede music breaking the stabishment aand a way to live.. The beatnik stuff -with virtues and vices- opens many doors to arts to be what they are on these days...

Hippie philosophy about peace =

Hippie laziness, drugginess, dullness, and almost all-around qualities =

Hippies annoy me on more than one level, and beatniks I know less about, but I feel similar towards.
