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.
If you love Kerouac like I do, check out my new book Road Trippn' (by Sean McLaughlin), a tribute to Jack; youth; Freedom; Love; God; sex, drugs, rock'n'roll and America set across the country and culminating in the streets of NYC, a month prior to the attacks of 9/11. Check it out at Amazon.com and support another working class artist from one of America's other former industrial glory towns - Cleveland this carnation around instead of Lowell.
I was wondering actually, since he states at the start that people would ask him why he wrote "that" book. I'm going to check out Visions of Cody, thanks.

This reading is not FROM On The Road, rather it is ABOUT On The Road. Unless I'm mistaken, the excerpt is from Visions Of Cody.

Because that's all I have. It's from a video called "Tom Waits under review 1971 - 1982"
