FILF



Jack Kerouac, legendary Beat writer of classic books, such as "On the Road" and "The Subterraneans" spent the later part of his life in beautiful West Coast Florida.

He died at St. Anthony's hospital in St. Petersburg, at the young age of 47, from complications arising from cirrhosis of the liver, a result of heavy drinking his whole life.

Just this past July, a judge in Pinellas County ruled that Jack's will had been forged, thus finally settling financial drama between Jack's relatives.

I read "On the Road" in my early teens and remember it playing like a movie in my head as my eyes moved quickly across the pages.

Read it if you haven't yet.

And PRAY that no one makes a movie about it!
