but yes, he'd still be as popular. It has much to do with his "f*ck you writing" to an entire country that wanted to pretend that America was just like "Leave It To Beaver". He was the voice of a real America that wasn't being allowed to talk because it wasn't "pretty" enough for the mainstream.

That's appealing whether his name was Jack Kerouac or Sal Paradise.
