Squawk, Cluck. There: I've Been Outraged
The obvious jokes involve William Burroughs and a special "floppy head Joan" accessory, but I'm not gonna make 'em:
That's a Jack Kerouac bobble-head doll, alright.
Says a UMass Jack Authority: "Kerouac appeals to people of lots of different ages and backgrounds, just like baseball does."
His final years certainly match the temperment of the times, anyhow.
(Heard this morning on NPR, found on me-fi.)
Comments
I saw the best minds of my generation bobblin' on springs real funny-like.
It actually looks more like Dick York from "Bewitched," or my dad when he had hair. Neither one of whom look a thing like Kerouac.
And I don't have to say that a wine bottle would be more appropriate than the cute lil' pen'n'pad.
