The Rucksack Willies started their journey as travelling musicians, free from the worries of the world, wishing only to play good music for good people. They met at Humber College in Toronto and have played in various different places with very different people. So pick up your Rucksack and pull up your bootstraps, cause we're about to go on a musical journey together.
"…[S]ee the whole thing is a world full of rucksack wanderers, Dharma Bums refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap they didn’t really want anyway such as refrigerators, TV sets, cars, …all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume, I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of ‘em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures."
-Jack Kerouac(The Dharma Bums) 1958
