I always thought that Aristide Bruant's Dans la Rue sounded suspiciously familiar enough to have been an influence on Kerouac ever since I took this class on Picasso but who knows, nobody's looked into it methinks? ...now I need to go figure out where my old beat up copy of On the Road that's been to 47 US states, ten (edit: make that 14) countries and three continents with a bunch of random things stuffed between the pages got off to.
