“…Cowboy Neal at the wheel…”

From Wikipedia:
Neal Leon Cassady (February 8, 1926 – February 4, 1968) was a major figure of the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the psychedelic movement of the 1960s, perhaps best known for being characterized as Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac‘s novel On the Road.

Ken Kesey wrote a story about the day Cassady died: The Day after Superman Died.

Here are some videos in tribute to the memory of our bus driver:
