Johnny Depp reads Jack Kerouac
From the Steve Allen show. Steve Allen was a brilliant comedian and one of the first television "talk show hosts." He does a wonderful job here with Kerouac who seems to be a surly interview. The performance of on the road here leads me to believe that it would have been an remarkable audiobook.

One of my favorite clips of Jack Kerouac. Interestingly, it is not actually On the Road that Kerouac is reading from, but his final version of it (and what Kerouac considered his masterpiece, thought not nearly as well received) entitled Visions of Cody.

Kerouac rarely appeared on television, and the few appearances he did make were typically brief. The deviation from the agreed-upon plan of reading from On the Road is often interpreted by counterculture literature enthusiasts as a sort of "f*** you" to the establishment by reading from the work Kerouac believed to be his best, rather than from the "inferior" On the Road that garnered far more mainstream popularity.
