Tom Waits on Jack Kerouac

We announced a few weeks back the new Kerouac – Self Portrait – Paul Maher Jr and Charles Shuttleworth‘s invaluable collection of Jack’s uncollected writing.

So today, still on the Kerouac beat (sic), here’s a little gem – Tom Waits on Big Sur

The footage is taken from Curt Warden‘s  2008 documentary  – “One Fast Move or I’m Gone – Kerouac’s Big Sur”.  (Check out also its soundtrack)

“Poets, musicians and others reflect on Jack Kerouac’s classic memoir, Big Sur..Jack Kerouac escapes from post On The Road fame to his dream of an isolated retreat in a cabin at Big Sur, where he searches for inner peace. His road comes full circle with this self-exploration, resulting in an alcohol-fueled paranoia and a plunge into madness.”
