KEROUAC's BIRTHDAY




“I suppose if Jack Kerouac had never written ‘On the Road,’ The Doors would never have existed.” - Ray Manzarek



So therefore I dedicate myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my suffrances, my loneliness, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being. 
Jack Kerouac 1922-1969
