This vibrant depiction captures Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters’ iconic journey across the United States aboard the famous Magic Bus. In 1964, Ken Kesey, the celebrated writer of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” embarked on a storied, LSD-infused trip across the country to the New York World’s Fair. Accompanying him was “The Merry Band of Pranksters,” a rebellious group of counterculture enthusiasts, featuring Neal Cassady, the American legend immortalized in Kerouac’s “On the Road,” who served as the driver and artist of the psychedelic Magic Bus.
