Facing drug charges tied to LSD, the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest author and Merry Pranksters staged a dramatic disappearance, leaving behind a truck near the California coast and a note suggesting he’d taken his life. Instead, Kesey crossed the border, cementing his status as both countercultural hero and outlaw. The move symbolized the end of the wide-open, playful phase of the psychedelic underground—and the beginning of a more cautious, criminalized era. The Acid Tests were over. The culture was changing. But the ripple effects of that moment still echo today.
Sixty years ago today, (Jan 23, 1966) Ken Kesey faked his own suicide and fled to Mexico—marking one of the most mythic turning points of the psychedelic era.

A two story Mural of author Ken Kesey leaning against his bookshelf, which is stuffed with books, photos and keepsakes, including a large Uncle Sam style top hat, Oregon license plate, from his bus Furthur, and a miniature version of the bus done in the signature Merry Prankster marbled dip-paint style. A trophy and a Springfield pennant sit atop. Some of the bookcase is also composed of the windows of the building the mural is on. On the sidewalk, a single light blue cruiser bicycle is parked at a bike rack at Kesey's feet.

It’s the 25th anniversary edition of the book about the Merry Pranksters and their cross USA bus ride - it has Further the psychedelic school bus on the cover, pointed right at you
Okay, so whoever you are & whatever perfidy I sense, I’m happy to give complete amnesty but I really DO need you to return my copy of On The Bus which went missing circa 1993 from either Swansea or Brighton #acid #MerryPranksters #KenKesey #NealCassady #LSD

1964, Ken Kesey had a problem. Every time they had to stop for gas or something, some Pranksters would wander off Hence the metaphor, "You're either on the bus or off the bus." No outsider had any idea what Kesey he mean, because you had to have been on the bus to get it. #merrypranksters
