The first part of the end credits run over the top of photographs of the real Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lucien Carr and William S. Burroughs.
Epilogue: "Portraying David Kammerer as a homosexual predator, Lucien Carr pled guilty to first-degree manslaughter. He served 18 months in a reformatory. He worked as an editor at United Press International, where he remained until his death in 2005. He married twice and had three children. Edie Parker's family bailed out Jack Kerouac on the condition they marry and move to Michigan. Craving his friends in New York, he annulled his marriage and began a journey that would inspire his novel 'On The Road.' William Burroughs left his family to pursue a criminal life in New York that he documented in his novels 'Junkie' and 'Naked Lunch.' He co-wrote his first book with Jack Kerouac, a novel based on David Kammerer's murder. It was kept from publication for over 60 years. After his expulsion from Columbia University, Allen Ginsburg became one of the most awarded poets in American history. He dedicated his first published collection 'Howl and Other Poems' to Lucien Carr. In response, Lucien asked that his name be withdrawn from all further editions."
