Interviewer: You did things like introduce the hells angels to L.S.D, was that a very wise thing ? Kesey: LSD to the hells angels was a whole lot better than giving them beer and barbiturates , that's when they beat up on each other. Hells angels on LSD , you know they sit and study the movements in the bubbles. ( laughs ) |
Interviewer: What would you say to the kids today about what they should or should not take ? Kesey: I never tell kids to take LSD. I think at that time in our history there was a stiffness that went around the US like a tarter on the teeth . LSD was a way of going in there and getting the tarter loose so that the gums could be healthy again . We bled for a while but I don't see the need for that in my kids. |
Interviewer : One more question, what about wrestling ?. Kesey : Well as I have always said , wrestling is the sport of reason . Football , boxing , they are all trying to decrease the reason and intelligence of the opponent by knocking them out , but the wrestler doesn't try to knock anybody out. He gets them by the arm and sits them back there and says. |
