Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place
A freewheeling portrait of Ken Kesey and the Merry Prankster�s fabled road trip across America in the legendary Magic Bus. In 1964, Ken Kesey, the famed author of �One Flew Over the Cuckoo�s Nest,� set off on a legendary, LSD-fuelled cross-country road trip to the New York World�s Fair. He was joined by �The Merry Band of Pranksters,� a renegade group of counterculture truth-seekers, including Neal Cassady, the American icon immortalized in Kerouac�s �On the Road,� and the driver and painter of the psychedelic Magic Bus.
