FPM has his extremely cool girlfriend to thank for this bulletin, otherwise he would have had no idea that it was Neal's birthday.
Happy Birthday to one of my non-traditional heroes...

That is very true. However, stealing is the most sincere form of flattery...right Joey?
Neal hunched at the wheel, keepin' everyone in stitches... |

"child of the streets--self-taught intellectual--legendary ladies man manic lightening-mouthed stormy husky rushing of mad ecstasy, prototype hipster hero for many candidates for beatitude hanging out in North Beach (hoping to catch a glimpse or even eavesdrop on one of his “high-octane hipologues” (Kesey, Demon Box, 1986)." Allen Ginsberg (Howl) wrote: “N.C., secret hero of these poems;” Kerouac called him ‘Dean Moriarty’ in On The Road(1957) and Kesey knew of him thusly and (in part) modeled Randall P. McMurphy after him (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) 1962) . Like Mr. Natural--con man charming manipulating--bohemian cowboy cast here as irrepressible rebel hero--constantly challenging authority.
Cassady became fully "pyschedlicized" after he met Ken Kesey, which resulted in Cassady’s legendary status as chauffer of Kesey’s Merry Pranksters bus, “Further” a 1939 International Harvester painted with Day-Glo.
"The bus came by and I got on
That’s when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal
At the wheel of the bus to Nevereverland"
---'The Other One' (Grateful Dead)

Believe it nor not, it's my birthday, too. That's right, I share a birthday with Cowboy Neal AND James Dean. |
