mo? Go ahead!'"
Ho's soon Ihn end of the world in ihn AIDS npidnmlc and tho
mao I strom of money being fed into l.ns Vogas casinos by grandpar
ents who won't pass it on to their children But ho remains opti
mistic.
“At tho last moment you hoar tho cavalry charge and here comos
Galileo," K««oy said. “The human being has real good track for
coming uu with its genius and hero when it's necessary."
A grandparent himself. Kosey. 56. grow up on a dairy farm in Or
egon's verdant Willamette Valley. In 1964. ho organized an LSD
fuoled bus trip with his friends, known ns the Merry I'rankstcrs.
that was immortalized in Tom Wolfe's classic. Tho Electric Kcxd
Aid Acid Test.
After serving four months In jail for a 1965 marijuana bust in
California, he lighted on this small farm, raising his family in a
sprawling house that once was a burn and now is a touchslono for
wandering acid heads.
A rainbow staircase lends to Kosoy's offico landing. Two glittnry
rod padded vinyl doors salvaged from an old movio theater offer a
choir*. One loads to a bedroom, the other to u loft where an owl
lives in the rafters, casting the undigested remains of its prey onto
the planks below.
A sliding glass door opens to a second-story deck with no railing
and a view of Mt I’isgah, where Kosey has erected a monument to
his second son, Jed, killed in a 1984 van wreck on a road trip with
the University wrestling team.
Kesey is still married to his high school sweetheart, Faye. His
children are grown Beef cattle graze, peacocks squawk and tho bus
named Further rusts In tho woods out back, blackberries growing
up through the engine.
A now bus hus taken Its place, painted with shiny now dreams
and sheltered In a cinder block burn against tho times it goes on the
road, music blaring and Kesoy's pals goofing from the roof.
Two years ago, Kesey announced he was driving Further to
Washington to donate it to tho Smithsonian, but the museum rec
ognized the new bus as having no history and rejected it.
"I kept telling thorn, 'It's not the metal, it's the wonder,' " Kosey
said.
Like the buses, writing ts part ol the hag o! tricks that Kesoy uses
to inspire the wonder that opens the mind.
"Eskimos do whut they call jumping the weasel," he said. "They
take a little weasel I expect they've got a little thread tied onto it, 1
don't know.
"That weasel jumping around the Igloo makes those kids pay at
tention to what this shaman is teaching them about hygiene and re
s|>e<:t and how to live.
"It's not the answer that's important. It's the mystery. It's that lit
tle moment when; your mind goes, 'Whoa, wait a minute.' That's
where stuff happens. If you don't make that crack, what you're
dealing with, essentially, is just gossip."
He sniffs at trying to crack the minds of the East Coast audience
who mads John Updike.
"For me to crack their minds would take my stomach opening
up and bluebirds flying out and circling their heads," he said.
He writes, instead, for the young people who devour Stephen
King when they're not trying to buy a new wheel for their skate
board .
"When you deal with kids, they're open," he said "They're will
ing to bo changed They are willing to be led to the brink of won
der."
