Ken Kesey Appreciation Day

There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. If you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. If you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn. --- Ken Kesey

As quoted by Tom Wolfe, in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

When I lived in San Francisco, I hung out with some people who were friends with him. At that time, he had some weird thunder machine he was working on. I'm not sure what it was, he would just come down with a bunch of people to go to Dead shows in the area. I was in awe that they could still party that hard at their ages.
