[Gogogonorrhea]

Probably almost half the people who are able to hold a guitar in the USA, America, the blue planet, milky way, the universe have written a song about Kerouac or more or at least they tried and failed miserably (hello, Kurt Cobain!), Patti Smith referenced Kerouac, the Doors, the Smiths, Bobby blahblah Dylan, etc. etc. SY also often write kerouacesque shit.

I prefer The Dharma Bums by the way, since it's more bunched together. As brilliantly written as it might be, I find On the Road too long-winded with its five choruses, still brilliant.
