  • Respond if you're a writer. We all write in our dreams, don't we? In our dreams, we write beautiful prose and poetry as quickley as we read; beyond spontaneously..am i right? Nothing is more frustrating than waking up and losing that poem. When we try to write this way while awake, we can't quite capture the spontaneous quality that we can while we dream; when we write without thinking. This man, Jack Kerouac, has done what we dream of doing. He writes without thought. He writes his dreams

  • corso SHOULD have been an icon to everyone the way he is to me at least!

  • @Krue2112 I understand, but of course... who decided how it gets to be thrown? Certainly not Corso, certainly not anybody else. I think in the end "who gives a shit" is a pretty good response for people that live this, as well as those that don't.

  • iNTERESTING STUFF...

  • No wise king would want to hear refrain, redundancy in their ear~

  • Ego.

    haha yeah i get what you mean. A lot of girls read it only to attract other men. They dont even understand what Jack Kerouacs all about. Its a shame man. But woman have always been this way. Their seductive theyll do anything to get the top man. Its a trip. Ive seen it face to face.

  • @goback3spaces hm. I'm assuming you're one of those women?

  • @joshgibson "On the Road" remains popular with readers, particularly women. I enjoy watching them on the subway with a paperback of Kerouac's seminal novel, holding it in their laps, unable to keep their eyes focused on the pages, their gaze drifting around to whatever attractive guys might be in the car with them, anything other than actually reading the piece of shit they have in their laps...

  • A true poet.
