Neal Cassady was pretty much the basis for Kerouac's outlook, so I'm going with him.
If I understand correctly he was also the basis for Keesey's sped up bus driver in Electric Koolaid Acid Test.

So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars'll be out, and don't you know that God is Pooh Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what's going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty.
Last lines of On the Road
One of my favorite passages in American literature.

The Naked Lunch, ugh, I hated this book - don't even think I finished it. William Burroughs was a freak...
Trivia tidbit: Steely Dan is the name of a dildo in The Naked Lunch
When I was in college on the east coast I had the opportunity to take a course by a lady named Ann Chartes, who wrote a definitive bio of Kerouac and the Beats;
and it was called.... Kerouac.
If this subject is slightly interesting to anyone, I highly recommend reading it - lots of good photos too; some taken by the author - she was a peripheral friend of those guys...
