“The great image of God, with forefinger pointed straight at me…”


From the Tonight Show in 1959. Kerouac was too nervous to do a straight interview, so host Steve Allen asked the writer to do a reading, while he accompanied him on jazz piano. That same show today, incidentally, is hosted by Jay Leno.

    Is that a subtle dig at the decline of the Late Show?
    I hear Jennifer Anniston will be on soon promoting her new hair-doo.

    The Tonight Show, you mean. And, yes, that definitely was a dig at Leno.
