Okay, so, read WILL OLDHAM ON BONNIE “PRINCE” BILLY and then read ON THE ROAD: THE ORIGINAL SCROLL. I could not agree with Mr. Oldham more.

“I was just reading the scroll version of [On the Road] now, and I see aimlessness, and it’s not a happy story. As a kid it seemed like a strong story, making it seem as if there’s a lot of things out there that you could become a part of, but now it doesn’t at all…It’s misleading, that book.”
—Will Oldham, from Will Oldham on Bonnie “Prince” Billy
