He would have been 82 today, you know, had his liver not exploded in 1969.

...liver aside, he probably would be too bitter and mean to live by this point anyway... but here's to America's greatest
French-Canadian/wierdo/footballer/drunken writer and of course, traveller!

I went to his grave, once.

Yeah, happy birthday Jack, hope you're still out there somewhere...

I guess I'm going to the pub this lunch in the great man's honour - perhaps everyone should do the same, so even in the depths of the corporate machine, there'd be a series of small flames burning today

Such a joy to check Barbelith this morning and find not only a picture of Jack Kerouac, but a picture of Jack Kerouac with a cat. Happy birthday indeed.

Sax, where is his grave?

Did you know that Jack Kerouac was once sidekick to the 60s pulp hero The Beatnaut? They foiled the evil Dr. Sax.

He's in Lowell, Mass. My family was driving through the first time I finished On the Road...
