You might meet this beatnik writer "on the road". Name that pioneer of the Beat Generation.

Famed for his free-wheelin' Beat Generation lifestyle, Jack Kerouac's On the Road was a masterpiece of spontaneity. "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." Interestingly enough, the literary iconoclast wrote out his epic on a scroll. Sounds pretty Beat to me.
