William Burroughs was born in 1914.
Jack Kerouac was born in 1922.
Allen Ginsberg was born in 1926.
That makes all of them members of The Greatest Generation.

Miles Davis was a week older than Ginsberg, 4 months older than John Coltrane.
Sun Ra was a few months older than Burroughs.
Thelonious Monk was born in 1917.
The Greatest Generation really did build the foundation for the worlds of the Baby Boomers.
