“As I process my latest book- PERIPHERAL VIEW: SOUL SONGS FOR THE STROBE LIGHT GENERATION 2020-2025 – published in December 2025 with some distance I can see a bit of JACK KEROUAC’s -Mexico City Blues – in its flow, but more rock and roll than jazz in its essence,. But i def can hear and feel a little of the jazz in the music of its raw stream of word flow, and with it being very in the now moment . Perhaps, rock jazz? This is all unintentional but I can see something mystical now in common with THOMAS MERTON’s – Wisdom Of The Desert – a little bit as well. It is so much more than the hungry skeleton of our culture, or co-opted by big money corporations governments here and globally propaganda. It is searching for truth and hope. Parts of my latest book are also like a simple church hymn book, with a pure, non-ego descent into GOD within, and in awe of GOD in silence,” said Billy Lamont today.
