So I'm sitting around at the Cambus office the other day, waiting to drive my bus. I'm thinking about Jack Kerouac for some reason or another. Then a coworker, out of the blue, says to me: "Hey, have you read On The Road by Jack Kerouac?" Is he psychic? More likely explanation: he gave a cursory glance to the book I had with me, Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer, and thought the author's name was the sort of similar-looking Jack Kerouac. Weird, though.
Speaking of Jack Kerouac, though, the infamous original manuscript of On The Road, which is one huge scroll of paper, is on display right now at the U of I Museum of Art. I haven't read the book (to answer the earlier question), but I'd like to now because this exhibit has piqued my interest.
ALSO speaking of Jack Kerouac, I'm downloading a song by Rusted Root called "Jack Kerouac." Freely and legally, from the incredible www.archive.org.
