Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of "On the Road," the novel by Jack Kerouac that gave voice to his generation's postwar experiences. I have this book, and someday I'm going to finish it, by golly. Son Isaac is a big fan, so I thought of him when I saw this article this morning. I also like this pic from the article.Oops. I guess it was actually yesterday. Sorry. I thought today was the 5th.

For an absolutely hysterical spoof on Kerouac's style done on "A Prairie Home Companion" during the summer of "On The Road"'s 40th anniversary, listen to this:

Actual spoof starts about two minutes in. Needs RealAudio to play.

Thanks for the link, Jim. I don't know if I have RealAudio or not - I hardly ever listen to anything. But I may check it out if I get a chance. Thanks.
