Neal Cassady created a foundation for the beat generation and inspired free thinkers.

Neal Cassady was a charismatic, larger then life character. His charm, manic energy, sexual swagger, and free flowing verbosity made him the authentic ‘hero’ of the beat generation. He was introduced to the world as Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac’s classic, On The Road. Neal Cassady created a foundation for the beat generation and opened up the floodgates for decades of free thinkers to follow.
