You met Ken ONE DAY, at a huge event he was BOSS of, that is not the everyday Ken! Yes, he was an alpha male! On teh bus or off the bus was the code for don't get left behind, this was a large group and they had to stick together or not. Ken never saw the movie!!! McMurphy is a red 6+ footheaded brawling Irshman. Idiot, wrestlers are huge, don't judge them by how much they could diet to. Ask anyone how "huge" Ken was. Tom Wolfe was never there during any real event, he watched the movies.
In Cuckoo's Nest, The Chief Bromden character and the persecution of Indigineous rights were meant to be the center of attention. The movie failed miserably in this regard. I've heard Fay say the villain was not Nurse Ratchet, it was "the combine" (Industrial dehumanization that eats peoples souls. Jack Nicholson being too short was not much of a reason Kesey had a problem with the film.
I discovered the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest in my adolescence in similar adverse circumstances as Rick Emerson. What I love about Ken Kesey, in spite of the fact that he was such a bad ass tough leader of the pack "Alpha Male" good ole' boy athlete, he was a defender of the underdog and the opressed.
