Quote 10
I was in Lowell, MA today and while visiting a historical mill museum I discovered that Lowell is also the site of Jack Kerouac's grave. I've never been someone who goes on pilgrimages to the graves of the famous, but I decided to make an exception today.
I think what made me visit is that I wanted to visit the same grave that Bob Dylan and Alan Ginsburg visited together in 1975. I like stepping along the same path as historical figures. It also gives me a chance to do my final rock and roll quote for my 100 things challenge.
“I came out of the wilderness and just naturally fell in with the Beat scene, the bohemian, Be Bop crowd, it was all pretty much connected. It was Jack Kerouac, Ginsberg, Corso, Ferlinghetti … I got in at the tail end of that and it was magic … it had just as big an impact on me as Elvis Presley.”- Bob Dylan, 1985
