This is an homage to Jack Kerouac, based around the swirling worldview of beat sounds, buddhism, sport and Catholicism from On the Road. When I first read his books as a 17 year old the promise of escape was intoxicating. His work maybe doesn’t have the same effect on me now but that’s because I don’t bound from one experience to another with excited wonder. For a start I’ve got a dodgy knee from sports injuries, so bounding anywhere is a bad idea.
