it's a run on sentence when there is a lack of a comma, or punctuation in general, separating two separate thoughts. (I jumped down the river to play and went back home afterwards because there was dinner it was so much fun. < Random thought, makes no sense, just an example.)
A comma splice is the opposite in one way essentially: Having an extra comma where there isn't supposed to be one. In this case, the comma after "like Stradlater" should have been a period or semicolon.

Time for my eighth grade English to come into play. Running at a 97% grade for the third quarter, but I don't know if that really matters.
