Started by Frank · 10 months ago

Jack Kerouac went on the road and wrote down what he saw. On The Road wouldn’t have been the literary sensation it was if Kerouac just sat in a room and imagined the characters he wrote about. He lived it.

    Ron, I'm a fan of that attitude. In sales, it's about windshield time, and in HR, it's about the people. I know the ones who do it well, like you, get out there and mix it up.

    Now, that we are playing trivia, who played the cute blond?

    Okay, I know this one -- Tuesday Weld. I kinda had a crush on her in the 60s. We used to watch Dobie Gillis reruns in the late 60s. I liked her and Ann Margrock from The Flintstones. At the time I didn't know there was a real Ann Margaret.

    Stop bragging, you young-un! When I saw Dobbie Gillis, they weren't reruns!

    That Kerouac quote was my senior quote in high school!

    Those inspired by Kerouac would probably enjoy You and I, a song by Brian Bourque.

    Enjoy!
