It was popular before that. Like Lord of the Rings and Kerowak and Dylan, it was part of the 60's canon.

Kerouac, not "Kerowak." And lord help you if you're mocking the saint of beat.

Speaking of mocking the sacred, I couldn't believe this article:

I was. I almost wrote Dillon.

I'd have been down with that. Dylan's an overrated, incoherent pile of garbage masquerading as a high-brow political statement.

Kerouac, on the other hand, was a poet in prose form.

Some people just don't know how to have fun. Everything has got to be boiled down and distilled and then analyzed to death.

Guns, explosions and car chases are fun.

I'm trying to understand a Kerouac guy who's a tool of the fossil fuels industry. I guess the 60's were a long time ago.

I enjoy spending time in the mountains, that doesn't mean I don't want to drill the bejeezus out of them.

Kerouac was a champion of the freedom the domestic oil and gas industry, in conjunction with the domestic auto industry, has blessed us all with: The Freedom of Movement.

I love what Capote said about Kerouac:

"That's not writing. That's typing."

I saw Kerouac's original scroll in Santa fe a while back. A very cool artifact of the era; He didn't type too much better than me, btw. Kerouac is an american origianl; his life moved to ther beat of bongos and didn't seem self-conscious. He was more 60s foundation than 60s revelation.
