I can understand if someone hasn't read Kerouac, but to genuinely not recognize the name is to be oblivious.

Oblivious to what? Middle of the road 20th century American literary figures? Go ask all of the "smart" people you know if they are familiar with Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, etc etc etc. You'll draw just as many blanks as you would with Kerouac, and they are FAR better writers.
