    This man was a big influence on my life. A part of me still wants to be a "Dharma Bum"

    Fascinating to see Jack speak in his native tongue....what a great clip. He was always so proud and ashamed of his ancestory throughout his lifetime.

      @@joetaylor5546 Back then they gave time to their 'artistic', classy, animated intros. You only have to view cinematic films (movies) of the time that playfully and creatively made well designed animated letter-formed introductions.

    It hurts me to see him like this. He looks pained, and ten years older than he was. He burned his Roman candle on both ends. To think, if he had taken care of himself, he might still be around to talk to us.

      Agreed. Had he not drank, or even drank just on a social level I am certain he would have lived into his 70s. Or possibly beyond. And one could only wonder what written work he might have composed had he lived another 30 to 35 years.

    @Broachizzzle Jack Kerouac was born on 9 Lupine Road in the West Centralville section of Lowell Massachusetts, 2nd floor. Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts.
    I was born and raised there we know Kerouac... his parents were born in Quebec... so once again. Just saying.

    Oui, fascinant en effet. Pour moi, l'accent de Kerouac est très évocateur, me faisant penser au Québec d'une autre époque.
    J'ai aussi apprécié les graphiques de l'introduction, très typiques de la télé canadienne des années 60.

    Writing is solitary ...selling the book is public marketing? How can you write a great book ....sell it...and not be eaten by publishing vampirism??? Kerouac couldn't square the pentagon and why should he??

    He looks really bloated and older than his 45 years. I'm 49 and look younger than old duluoz.
