YouTube Video of the Day: On the Road with Neal Cassady November 30, 2006
Posted by ~V~ in : Philosophy, Video, YouTube Video of the Day , trackbackUPDATE: This video was a (roughly) twenty-second clip of Neal Cassady telling a rambling story while driving a bus. It has been removed from YouTube and replaced with the following message:
“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Key-Z Productions and the Ken Kesey estate LLC”
Who’s losing money from a twenty-second clip??? Someone’s greed is worth more to them than sharing the spirit of the Beat Generation with a new generation.
As soon as Neal and Ken turned their backs, somebody took off with the bus…

You’re either on the bus, or off the bus.
Neal Cassady (1926-1968)
I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, 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!”
~ from On the Road by Jack Kerouac
