I can only assume that he is talking about/to Jack Kerouac, given the subject matter and his affinity for "On the Road."

I have always loved the book and can really identify with escaping life through a tangeable means (ex, car), but also realizing that your problems don't go away when you do. But it was sure fun getting the hell away from here anyway, even if it meant coming back to this shit.
