by Adam Katzman

If you go to the On the Road website, which works Kerouac’s rallying cry about “the mad ones” into HTML shorthand, you’ll notice an attempt to meme the movie into modern relevance. Be it “Were you born into the wrong generation? How would you fare with the Beats?” (hashtagged #TheMadOnes) or “Have you done your [...]
