In that time I’m sure countless words have been written about their curiously modern yet ancient and spiritual yet earthy epic, but I thought I’d add some more, for what they might be worth. ![]() It’s been more than 70 years since Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady and a cast of ‘beat’ misfits first set out on their first great adventures across the USA as chronicled, in a fashion, in On The Road. ![]()
