@jimbrown257 Did you see I'm not There? The movie about Bob Dylan. David portrays Ginsberg in it actually.

Neal was really not that kind of person from what I understand. He was very egotistical and gravitated toward people who tended to lavish him with adulation. And this is his Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test character: "Speed Limit". So bombed he couldn't talk. Kesey summed it up after one of Neal's long rap sessions by saying "Cassady doesn't have to think." He was conquering the lag between reality and thought by just rapping word after endless word. Dexedrine psychosis.
I enjoyed that poem :D. And Dean Moriarty, the great Neal Cassady is right there listening to it all :] I'd like to see him as described in "On the Road" though, I can see it a bit but it seems like he's being polite as it is a film for Ginsberg after all

You mean David Cross looks like Allen; he was born before him...therefore you must keep it in a chronological time frame.
