Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

  • The Grateful Dead and the Long 1960S – Syllabus Department of Music, University of California – Santa Cruz, Spring Quarter 2018
    Music 80N: The Grateful Dead and the Long 1960s – Syllabus Department of Music, University of California – Santa Cruz, Spring Quarter 2018 Instructor: Dr. Melvin Backstrom [email protected] Teaching Assistants: Marguerite Brown [email protected] Ike Minton [email protected] Class Schedule: MWF, 12pm-1:05pm, Music 101 (Recital Hall) OFFICE HOURS & LOCATION INSTRUCTOR Room 126 Mondays 2-3pm or by appointment TEACHING ASSISTANTS TBA Course Description This music history survey course uses the seminal Bay Area rock band/improvisational ensemble the Grateful Dead as a lens to understand the music and broader history of countercultural music from the 1950s to the present. It combines an extensive engagement with the music of the Grateful Dead, as well as other related musicians, along with a wide variety of readings from non- musical history, political science, philosophy and cultural studies in order to encourage a deep reflection on what the countercultures of the 1960s meant in their heyday, and what their descendants continue to mean today in both musical and non-musical realms. It aims to be both an introduction to those interested in the Grateful Dead, though largely born after the group’s disbandment in 1995, as well as to appeal to those with a broader interest in recent cultural history. Because the University of California – Santa Cruz is the home of the Grateful Dead Archive, students are encouraged to make use of it. However, given the number of students in the course and limitations of UCSC Special Collections its use will not be required. Readings All texts will be available through UCSC’s online system.

At a time when we’re forced to change the way we must indulge live music, we’re exploring the world of archival recordings with the iconic rock band Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead, a band formed in 1965, were been able to successfully blend genres with their expansive and eclectic style. For decades the group weaved in and out of rock music with elements of folk, jazz, blues, gospel, and more which was always tied together with their own brand of psychedelia. Once labelled “the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world”, Grateful Dead have never allowed their recorded material dictate live shows. The band would quite regularly allow the atmosphere of a crowd, venue or location dictate their rolling performances which, typically, meant that none of their concerts were the same.

But it was his 1964 cross-country tour in an old school bus (painted in bright psychedelic colors and crammed with “high,” high-spirited “Merry Prankster” friends) that epitomized the spirit of the 1960s.

  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.

  • Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Part I
    Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters part 1 by Anon November 27, 2020 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey studied creative writing at Stanford from 1958-60. While at Stanford, Kesey volunteered for a CIA-funded study that sought to determine “the effects of psychedelic drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine .. and DMT on people.” He took these drugs and wrote down what he experienced at the Veterans’ Hospital in Menlo Park, CA. Kesey enjoyed his drug experiences, and signed up for a part time job at the Veterans’ Hospital. Soon he was “stealing LSD out of the medicine chest and .. using it to turn on all his friends.” Access to psychedelics and a bestselling debut novel made Kesey a leader of the West Coast counterculture in the early 60’s. Indeed, Cuckoo’s Nest allowed Kesey to afford a ranch house in the hills not far from Stanford. The house soon became a center for bohemian partygoers, and his circle of friends were dubbed the Merry Pranksters. In the summer of 1964, the Pranksters went on a fake road trip from California to New York in a colorfully painted school bus called Furthur. This trip has been widely cited in popular culture as the birth of the counterculture. A 2011 documentary on Furthur proclaims, “Ken Kesey lit the fuse for the explosion that started the sixties.” The University of Virginia library states, “Much of the hippie aesthetic that would dawn on the San Francisco scene in the late sixties can be traced back to the Merry Pranksters who openly used psychoactive drugs, wore outrageous attire, performed bizarre acts of street theater, and engaged in peaceful confrontation with not only the laws of conformity, but with the mores of conventionality.” Kesey intended to turn the road trip into a movie reminiscent of Jack Kerouac’s beat novel On the Road.

  • Texas-Internationa-Pop-Festival-1969
    1 THE TEXAS INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL – 1969 I. CONTEXT In 1969, the city of Lewisville, Texas was a small farm town of about 9,000 residents1. Located about twelve miles north of Dallas, the town sat in the midst of plowed fields and grassland bordered by Lewisville Lake on one side and the Interstate 35 pathway to Oklahoma on another. Until then, the biggest entertainment adventure ever held there was a rodeo or a Lewisville Farmers high school football game. On Labor Day weekend of that year, in the last throes of summer, and in the last gasp of the sixties, a decade of change for the nation and the world, twenty-five bands and as many as a 150,000* hippies, bikers and music lovers would converge on the unsuspecting Texas town. The result was a piece of Texas history that has never been matched. *Newspapers reported mostly conservative and conflicting numbers of 20,000,2 40,0003, 65,0004 and even 200,0005 attendees, however the promoters, who lost $100,000 on the event, insist that there were 125,000 to 150,000 based on ticket sales. Many of those who attended the Texas International Pop Festival, in 1969, would have considered themselves hippies. While hippies were known for their nonviolence, they were not always treated accordingly, often harassed wherever they went. Such harassment was especially acute in the state of Texas, where hippies were constantly hassled by others. That a pop festival for hippies could be held in Texas was no less than astounding. That one could be held, not in Dallas or Austin, but in a tiny farm town like Lewisville, was unbelievable.

  • Lieberg on Dodgson, 'It's All a Kind of Magic: the Young Ken Kesey'
    H-1960s Lieberg on Dodgson, 'It's All a Kind of Magic: The Young Ken Kesey' Review published on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Rick Dodgson. It's All a Kind of Magic: The Young Ken Kesey. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2013. 226 pp. $26.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-299-29510-3. Reviewed by Collin Lieberg (University of Warwick)Published on H-1960s (September, 2014) Commissioned by Zachary Lechner A Magical, Merry Prankster Ken Kesey gained fame in the early and mid-1960s as the noted author of the classics One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962) and Sometimes a Great Notion (1964), the leader of the Merry Pranksters, and general countercultural icon. Memorably portrayed in Tom Wolfe’sElectric Acid Kool-Aid Test (1968), Kesey became a noted advocate for LSD and psychedelic drugs. That advocacy led to legal troubles, including fleeing to Mexico for a period of months, before fading from public view. For most of the rest of his life, until his death in 2001, Kesey continued to embody the contradictory nature that personified his early life. He shied away from fame and spent quiet time with his family. He decried the author’s life, but wrote on occasion. As Rick Dodgson demonstrates in It’s All Kind of Magic: The Young Ken Kesey, Kesey’s early life before the Wolfe depiction was equally engaging, if not equally contradictory. In the preface, Dodgson, a history professor at Lakeland College in Wisconsin, explains how he first came to write about Kesey for his PhD dissertation at Ohio University.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Evan Scruton for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 6, 2017. Title: Radical Centrism: The Bakatcha Bandit, Emook, and the Hope of the Riparian Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ David M. Robinson In 1965 Malcolm X said that "we are living in a time of extremism. People in power have misused it now there has to be a change, and a better world has to be built, and the only way it's going to be built is with extreme methods. And I, for one, will join in with anyone--don't care what color you are--as long as you want to change this miserable condition." In 2016 Naomi Klein published This Changes Everything which claimed that the only way to avoid imminent climate destruction was the end of global capitalism. What these two radical, potentially extremist, thinkers show is the connection between systemic liberal oppression and climate exploitation. These are, in essence, the two forces which the protagonists of The Sea Lion and Sailor Song are fighting against: gendered oppression by a monstrous invader and the capitalist commodification of unsettled lands. Emook and Ike, in The Sea Lion and Sailor Song, subvert the systematized logics that the colonizer manipulates for exploitation and in doing so save their communities from destruction. I connect this pattern to the natural example of riparian zones, one of the earth's 15 unique biomes. The riparian is unique in that it exists at the confluence of two diametrically opposed forces: land and water. At this juncture, it ameliorates the effects of things like flooding and pollution that could be destructive to both ecosystems.

  • Driving Furthur Into the Counterculture: Ken Kesey on and Off the Bus in the 1960S
    DRIVING FURTHUR INTO THE COUNTERCULTURE: KEN KESEY ON AND OFF THE BUS IN THE 1960S by Lauren Marie Dickens A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University December 2015 ! ! ! Thesis Committee: Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk, Chair Dr. James Beeby This research is dedicated to the free spirits who share the same love for history and the counterculture as I do ii! “I can’t imagine another scene, another period that I would rather be living in. I think we’re living in a wild and wooly time, a time that history students will one day view in retrospect and say, ‘Wow! That 20th Century! Wouldn’t that have been something to make!’” -Ken Kesey in 1963 iii! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank the professors in the Middle Tennessee State University History Department who have taught this undergraduate journalism major how to think, read, and write in ways I never thought were possible. I have learned so much from each professor who taught and inspired me to become a better writer and cultural historian. I was also blessed with two wonderful and encouraging committee members, Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk and Dr. James Beeby, who went above and beyond their roles as advisors for this project. Dr. Myers-Shirk not only became an advisor and mentor to me throughout this process, but she became a wonderful friend who I will cherish forever. Dr. Beeby, thank you for being a source of continuous positivity and immense knowledge of this time period.
