“They danced down the streets like dingledodies and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”. J.Kerouac On the road
What a fabulous track! It’s a long time since I read ‘On the Road’ but his descriptions of Bebop and juke-joints are the passages that seem to have stayed with me…great stuff. :)
thanx;) I’ve always greatly admired JK’s works, that blues indeed fits so well with his spirit
