It was Kerouac (my literary hero) who inserted a roll of shelf paper into 
his typewriter and banged out "On the Road" in one long stream of 
consciousness benzedrine and booze filled shot. Then he just rolled the 
sucker up and started passing it around to publishers. I saw the original in 
a museum in San Francisco. They all laughed at him until one of them finally 
took the time and effort to finally read it (Penguin Book I believe) and 
then they inserted the paragraphs and a classic was born.

harp content: I don't think any of Kerouacs characters played harp but I 
believe at least one of Faulkner's did (Sound & the Fury?). Memory is 
getting dim, I need to re-read those books.

bonus content: They are now trying to recondition the famous "Further" bus 
that Ken Kesey's merry band drove in the famous book "Electric Kool-Aid Acid 
Test". Actually it was Kerouac's buddy Neal Cassady (who was Dean Moriarity 
in On the Road) at the wheel.

obligatory IMO: I don't like long posts with no paragraphs too, but I make 
Sonny Jr an exception, I love reading his stuff. also that other dude, 
Hurricane Ramon I believe, who posts those amazing crazy stream of conscious 
posts, where's he been?

totally unrelated content: man that Paula Abdul's whack. We need to get her 
to start posting here.
