Beautiful video - one of my favorites. I always find it funny how cool Steve Allen was back then, and how conservative and idiotic he became. Typical aging - enjoy things while you're younger, then try to censor it when you get old. Boo!
This is a mix of Visions of Cody and On The Road which was most likely typed on a sheet of paper and slipped in the front cover of the book he is holding. In Visions of Cody it is "sleeping in me raw bed alone and stupid", but here it sure sounds like he says "was stupid". There are other slight differences from the printed word, probably because it just sounds better this way.
this video inspired me to do a painting, "I wrote the book because we're all gonna die" that line resonated in me with its profoundness. I have a link to it on my profile, listed as my website if anyone is interested
