Free Beer: Kicks and Truth with Jack Kerouac & other strong drinks

Cliff wrote Free Beer: Kicks & Truth with Jack Kerouac to stand up for him against the unfair critics that surfaced after his untimely death. Cliff met Kerouac (King of the Beatniks) by accident in a St. Petersburg, Florida bar. Free Beer opens with a raucous description of this meeting and shows the beginning of his friendship with Kerouac and a vignette co-authored with Kerouac is featured in the book. One hat Cliff wore with pride is that he was Kerouac’s driver.
