Cassidy's Tale

by John Perry Barlow

(Ken Schumacher received this from Barlow after posting a request for reminiscinces from people who'd known Neal Cassady. Thanks to Ken for sending this to me, and to John Perry Barlow for giving me permission to include it in Literary Kicks. It is a very beautiful piece of writing, and it also answers a question that had been bugging me for years : why did he spell Neal's name wrong in the title of the song? Turns out there's a simple answer. -- Levi Asher)
