    That’s a pretty great and painfully accurate quotez at least according to this middle aged goof.

      Isn’t it? I heard this quote as a child (middle school) when listening to this book on tape during school commutes.

      I suppose it is seared into my mind because hearing it was akin to watching a movie with your parents and there is an unexpected sex scene.

      Quote feels out of context with the rest of the book, which tried to paint a picture of America during the time the author worked on the show “On The Road”
