 OnlineColumnist®.com: Pop Icon Ken Kesey Checks Out
Counterculture icon Ken Kesey passed quietly of liver cancer, leaving behind an undeniable change in American consciousness, including the rich legacy of his 1962 breakthrough novel "Cuckoo's Nest"—a sardonic microcosm of contemporary life seen through the reflective eyes inside a mental hospital.
Pop psychology's human potential movement, with its love affair with Eastern religion and self-help books, had more to do with the hippies than the eccentric author of "Cuckoo's Nest." Yes, Kesey's celebrity status and carefully orchestrated publicity stunts caught the attention of Ivy Leaguers looking for gurus in a period of social upheaval.
Kennedy's assassination, the sexual revolution, rock music, the peace movement, Black power, pop art, new wave cinema, and pop psychology all contributed to the '60s cultural trends.
