I have a comment on the thesis concerning the Neal Cassady/Jack Kerouac (see: http://www.charm.net/~brooklyn/People/NealCassady.html).

The reason why Jack Kerouac decended into alcaholism is because he lived his life through Neal Cassady. And never – ever – gave him credit for it. In NC’s “The First Third” it is obvious where JK’s voice originated.
