Sign of the Times

Today is the birthday of American Beat poet and novelist Jack Kerouac, born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922. His seminal novel, On the Road, (written in 1951; published in 1957), was legendarily written in three weeks on one continuous roll of Teletype paper. His writing style has been the inspiration of countless writers and artists.

This wittily appropriate On The Road T-Shirt — further Road gear here — is from the Humorous Signs section in the Street Signs division of the CafePress.com Mike and Dan T-Shirts shop.
