Proud of m' boy || Thursday, September 20, 2007

Myers and I were driving down the road tonight when an Operation Ivy song came on the radio and he said "oi!oi!oi!" for half the song. It brought tears to my eyes :)

Happy 50th || Wednesday, September 05, 2007

Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. If it weren't already past my 9:30 bedtime, I would ask you to join me in the symbolic cigarette smoked while eating apple pie, listening to Charlie Parker, and reading Langston Hughes. However, since it's late and I don't smoke, support the man, man, and check out the newly published facsimile edition of the original 120 foot scroll On the Road was written on. Ironically, and contrary to the spirit of Kerouac, I've revised this email half a dozen times and I have never hitchhiked (unless you count the time Sam and I rode halfway around the Cades Cove loop in the back of a stranger's truck after a hike...).
