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 - a trip made famous in Tom Wolfe's book 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'. Kesey was joined on his Magic Bus by "The Merry Band of Pranksters", a renegade group of counterculture truth-seekers that included Neal Cassady, the Beat Generation icon immortalised Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road'. This trip sparked the beginning of the 1960s psychedelic revolution.
