My father, Neal, named me after his 2 best friends at the time, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Although Allen was my middle name, Ginsberg would always introduce me as "Allen Cassady." Everyone knew that my first name was John, but they would play along. I have so many stories about Allen, but for another day...John Allen Cassady
