THIS is Jack Kerouac’s ashtray. The ashes in it are from his smokes. This simple item was once such an essential part of daily life. Not just that of The Beats, but of my own Tribe as well. . #RememberAshtrays? “Jack could pound away on his clunky manual typewriter for endless hours, days and nights, living on coffee, cigarettes, and adrenaline.”

Rings bells.

The exhibit was just a single room. I spent between an hour and a half and two hours. Daughter ended up having to rush to an audition so she didn’t meet me there (Fingers crossed - were hitting The Native American Museum tomorrow). I wouldn’t have had as much time if I hadn’t been alone.

You Can Buy Jack Kerouac's Early Draft of 'On the Road,' Which He Typed on a 121-Foot-Long Scroll
The author taped pages together so he wouldn't need to load paper into his typewriter. The original scroll of the Beat Generation classic is expected to fetch up to $4 million at auction
Happy birthday to Ol’ Ti Jean by the way. March 12, 1922.
Just saw from the Christie’s site that the scroll fetched $12.1MM. Whoa.
Irsay had a lot of cool shit, including Hunter S. Thompson’s “Red Shark” Caprice Classic convertible.

Nah any pizza around there would be sit-down. You’d have needed to head over to 1st Ave for the slices — Brooklyn, Sofia, Marinara, Best Pizza… some very solid spots around there.
Hopefully I’ll get to check it out next week.
Well I’m not a country guy in the least, so I know his name but that’s literally it. Sounds like the kind of guy who will do the right things and make it publicly available, though.Zach Bryan Buys Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road' Scroll for $12.1 Million

Sounds very encouraging from the article, what he’s doing with the church in Lowell. I had a pilgrimage to Lowell in my 20’s and hit a bunch of spots — birthplace home on Lupine, a couple other homes he lived in, ball fields, Kerouac Park with monuments, and his gravesite. Missed the church though.

BTW, Kerouac mentions getting "stuck" in Sanford, North Carlolina in this letter.
Home of Coltrane too yeah? Or is it Monk??
