I was there. Ken was crazy in a harmless kind of way and, since it was probably his own invention, may have been, and will always be, the only one who really knew what "The acid test" really is, was or was supposed to mean. He also was not a musician so his opinion on music was mostly meaningless. My step Father was one of the beat Poets and I could never make any sense out what he was saying or any other of the speakers. It just sounded like jiberish to me and still does.

@jcregg1 Who was your step Father? I'm curious, I have met many people including Ken a few times.

How did Kesey assess sanity and insanity in American society when writing One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest?

[Salmonpat]

@ivystorm94 When Kessey wrote KooKoo's Nest he was working 3rd shift at a mental institution. He just simply add himself as a character.

I love One Flew Over The Koocoos nest, my favorite book, love Ken Kesey and all he stands up for.

[Salmonpat]

thanks that meant something to me, added to the day. He is among the people who I wish could of hung around a while longer. I'd of partaken of what they offered with thanks.

@jcregg1 "Stepfather." "Gibberish." Your opinion on poetry is similarly in question.

[Wedneswere]

@jcregg1 Why do you think a person's opinion on music is not meaningful if that person is not a musician?

[RATTLEY67]
