Katy Perry Inspired by Kerouac

March 25, 2011 by PaulM Posted in Culture, History, Lowell 2 Comments

The Kerouac House (writer in residence program in Orlando, Fla.) posted a link on Facebook to a video of singer Katy Perry talking about her new song “Firework,”  which she says was inspired by the writing of Jack Kerouac in “On the Road.” The source link is at fabulousbuzz.com. Katy Perry performed at the KISS 108 FM Jingle Ball at the Tsongas Center last December.

    Ugh, I can’t believe Kerouac House would advertise that. I think his family should sue Katy Perry for slander.

    I can think of two large reasons why old Ti Jean might appreciate young Katy !
