Famous Hippies
Ken Kesey
Most famous for writing the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," Ken Kesey was also known as one of the most famous hippies of the 1960's. He famously rode around on top of a technicolor school bus called "Furthur." He had a troupe of hippies with whom he lived and traveled, called the Merry Pranksters. The adventures of Kesey and the Pranksters are documented in "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," by Tom Wolfe.
