| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | I'm not sure how many fans there are of his on the board but I'm suere there's a few and here's an editing down obituary from Yahoo: Novelist, 60s Icon Ken Kesey Dies By JEFF BARNARD, Associated Press Writer GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - Ken Kesey, whose LSD-fueled bus ride became a symbol of the psychedelic 1960s after he won fame as a novelist with ``One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,'' died Saturday morning. He was 66. Kesey died at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, two weeks after cancer surgery to remove 40 percent of his liver. Kesey burst onto the literary scene in 1962 with ``One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,'' followed quickly with ``Sometimes a Great Notion'' in 1964, then went 28 years before publishing his third major novel. In 1964, he rode across the country in an old school bus named Furthur driven by Neal Cassady, hero of Jack Kerouac's beat generation classic, ``On The Road.'' The bus was filled with pals who called themselves the Merry Pranksters and sought enlightenment through the psychedelic drug LSD. The odyssey was immortalized in Tom Wolfe's 1968 account, ``The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.'' But ``One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' became much more widely known, thanks to a movie that Kesey hated. It tells the story of R.P. McMurphy, who feigned insanity to get off a prison farm, only to be lobotomized when he threatened the authority of the mental hospital.  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | That's funny because just the other day I saw the repeat of History's Lost & Found where they tracked down the old hippie bus. I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | If you haven't read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, I would highly recommend it. Those Merry Pranksters sure can party. I'm surprised the guy lived to be 66. Rest in peace. | ||||
