The one it's a parody of is Copyright: 1999, Jim Reed |
"And now, people, here's the reason we built this parody in the first place. ATI, Activist Tell Imus!!!" Ati 65 ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS, WE PRINT It's Sunday. February, 2, 1997. ATI 64 has gone out to about 45 people. If you know someone who oughta get this, lemme know. Or tell them to either search for it thru Yahoo & Hotbot (the 2 biggest "hitters" I know about so far) or give me an email address to send it to. I'll do the rest. Don't expect the price for ATI to go up this year to offset cost of living increases. (besides I don't drink COLAs anymore anyhow.) Any percentage increase from 0 is still 0, so you pay $0.00 to receive Activist Times, Inc. as per usual. Which leads me to this: Notas Prime Anarchos: if anyone's charging you to receive ATI, please either:
THE BALLAD OF KEROUAC AND FARRAKHAN
by marc harry ehrenfrucht
Statesman, poet, traveler man.
Kerouac and Farrakhan.
Teacher, leader, writer more-Well dressed, learned, both adored.
One keeps getting called militant
Other left Navy and Merchant Marines - they called him a miscreant.
Like Kerouac and Farrakhan, man.
Like Kerouac man, and Farrakhan.
Farrakhan, like Kerouac man... wait.
Kerouac practically IS Farrakhan.
Louis Eugene Walcott was born in 1933.
Jean Louis Lebris Christened 1922, you see.
Louis Eugene got his start in the Bronx of NYC.
Went to live in Boston, Mass. The part called Roxbury.
Jean Louis went the other way beginning in Lowell, Mass.
Prep school took him to New York for Columbia, where he could barely pass.
Jean Louis the well groomed football star
Became Jack Kerouac, sometimes John.
Louis Eugene the well groomed track star
Became Louis X, then Louis Abdul Farrakhan.
Oh, also known as Calypso Gene, The Charmer
Toting a guitar, wrote many a country song.
Kerouac didn't do as well in school,
But many a poem he wrote, and sometimes rather long.
They say Louis stuttered as a child, honor roll though in school.
Someone said Kerouac rather than writing was a typer
Drove him wild, dropped out twice from Columbia, one Prof. called him fool.
Louis is reputedly awesome on the violin I hear,
Kerouac read his poems as if voice were saxophone in your ear.
Louis is son of a Baptist preacher, attended Episcopal,
Now leads US Nation of Islam
Jack attended Catholic schools made Zen all the rage-
-Posthumous father of the whole beat field of
-Disembodied poetry.
Ah, crescendo. No more rhyme scheme, follow this now.
Farrakhan plays a 200 year old Guadagnini violin,
While Kerouac banged on a 100 year old Underwood Type-O-Matic.
Like Kerouac and Farrakhan, man.
Like gods with words.
