Studious readers of The Daily Beat know who Locke McCorkle is -- he was the character Sean Monahan in Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums, the guy whose cabin Kerouac and Gary Snyder (Japhy Ryder in the book) lived in behind Sean's house in Mill Valley.
I posted a picture of Locke taken by Gerald Nicosia in 2012 and a relevant excerpt from The Dharma Bums here.
Now, thanks to Brian Hassett posting the link in the Jack Kerouac Facebook group, I know about this 2017 interview of Locke from 2017 sponsored by the Mill Valley Historical Association -- click here.
While writing this post, I ran across this other interview of Locke from 2015 -- click here.
Good stuff.
Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteWonderful!
I downloaded the transcript and read it a few times. Interesting perspective. I'm an East Coast person that has read (too much) about Druid Heights and Alan Watts from people outside looking in. It's informative to read about someone that was there and socialized with many of the people connected to that place & time.
Thank you,
