To me, everything that is human is holy, ... So I don't think anything in the book is despicable or wrong.

Most Americans look to him as a macho role model, mistaking him for the character he created in 'On the Road' -- the motorcycle hero, cowboy hero, your thug, your gang member. The popular notion of Kerouac was this tough, macho man who had a woman at every pit stop. The other dimension of him was the dark side of Kerouac present in his work.

Generation X people would somehow track me down and want to know about him, ... I remember he had told me it would take 25 years for his work to be totally appreciated, and I found myself telling these stories to these young people and some would say, 'Why don't you put all of it in a book?'

I think it's despicable,

I think it's unfair, but they have the right as fallible, screwed-up humans to be unfair; that's the human condition.

From my experience with God, and what I read from his Holy Book. I sometimes think that he is more interested in our discomfort than in our comfort.
