Uploaded by: yoism3
Video Description:
Ken Kesey ( & Jerry Carcia) are interviewed by Tom Snyder. Then in a clip looking back from an historical retrospective many years later, Kesey describes how LSD enabled him to write such works as the classic "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

If you wonder why we call them "sacraments," here's scientific proof that psychedelics facilitate genuine religious experiences: In 2006, researchers at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Medical School, in a controlled double blind study, showed that those administered the active ingredient found in magic mushrooms had profound religious experiences. To see a video and major media reports about that study, see http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/219

Jerry Garcia was gay, and the Dead were just a glorified garage band.

To Grassgraph: You are obviously a close minded moron. Jerry Garcia was perhaps the greatest American musician of his time and the Grateful Dead played before more people than any other band in the history of rock and roll. I suggest that you take a dose and listen to some live Grateful Dead before posting any further idiotic statements.

terrapinbobbyfreak: that's the problem. Apparently the deads concerts can ONLY be enjoyed under the Heavy influence of psychedelic drugs, I know. I've seen them. Fucking incredibly awful. If it weren't for drugs of ALL sorts the Dead would have remained (rightly so) an obcsure doped up garage band.

good one cruss. When you come down, maybe you can find the rest of the keysszzzzzz, Wow..... did you realise you can see your fingernails grow when you are trippinggggg? AND... the Dead's "music" sounds good.
It is obvious to me ... ( 3 weeks ago by terrapinbobby)
It is obvious to me that the Grateful Dead's music is much to complicated for the likes of grassgraph. I have seen Jerry Garcia live over 150 times and each time it was a pleasure to listen to one of the greatest guitar players that ever strapped on an axe. FYI grassgraph - - I was perfectly straight at the vast majority of these shows. You should stick to heavy metal brother and leave the grown up music to those that have the capacity to handle it.
agreed. brother! ( 2 weeks ago by bodine1975man)

You might be one of the most ignorant people to have ever graced the pastures of youtube.
Now thats an accomplishment!
The Dead were the original Jam band. No two concerts were the same!
You just stick with the synthetically created vocals you get out of your commercialized studio music
