In the minutiae department, I've handled calls out at Ken Kesey's property a few times. The family still runs (I think) concert promotions etc. There's a statue in downtown Eugene depicting Ken Kesey on a bench, reading to his grandkids. His son Jed Kesey was killed in a van crash involving the U of O wrestling team in 1984.
Hi Ally. Tom Wolfe wrote "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and Ken Kesey was the Merry Prankster who took the "test" and publicized the process. Ken and Tom were both wild and wooly intellectuals of the sixties. Read their books, but stay away from the Kool-Aid. Best wishes, Catherine

That’s right; I just remember Kesey because he’s local. His bus, Further, is still around.
Wow!
