ummm it's kind of a cornerstone of psychedelic pop culture, but thanks.

He's right, if you haven't read it, read it.

tell me about it bro...


btw

i only heard of this from this other thread, id heard a music album called the same by mc proof.

You can never post info like this too much, ive been round here for a good thousand posts and did not buy Be Here Now until last week! And im sure i came across it  beforebut within a few days it was several pages back and i wouldnt have seen it long enough to think its worth buying.

Thats why trip film/art/music/litarature list threads dont grow old on me at all, sumone new has always got something to suggest!

And if you tink he shouldnt have posted this, how selfish is that?

Theres loads of users with 5/6 posts, ie newbies who need to read this stuff!

Anyway im off to bed now, thanks again!

:peace:

I just thought I'd include some reviews:

"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is not simply the best book on the hippies, it is the book . . . the pushing, ballooning heart of the matter . . . Vibrating dazzle!" —Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times

"A Day-Glo book; illuminating, merry, surreal!" —The Washington Post

"Among journalists, Wolfe is a genuine poet; what makes him so good is his ability to get inside, to not merely describe (although he is a superb reporter), but to get under the skin of a phenomenon and transmit its metabolic rhythm." —Newsweek

"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is an amazing book . . . A book that definitely gives Wolfe the edge on the non-fiction novel." —Village Voice

"Some consider Mailer our greatest journalist; my candidate is Wolfe." —Studs Terkel, BookWeek

"Tom Wolfe is a groove and a gas. Everyone should send him money and other fine things. Hats off to Tom Wolfe!" —Terry Southern

I can't remember if it was when the Pranksters were in Alabama or Louisiana, and they were tripping/swimming in a lake. Some local negros swam up to them and wanted them to leave. One of the pranksters said that everything turned to brown when that happened and freakd him out. I might have gone differenty, its been so long since I've read that.

I must say I forgot the most part of it but I remember well the excitement i felt all along. A funny one was when the police stopped their bus and they managed to get away with it saying they were part of a theater group or something like that. And they were all shitting in their pants while heavily tripping on lsd. Lucky them but well deserved.

A film adaptation of the book, directed by Gus Van Sant, is expected to be released in 2009. The screenplay is written by Big Love writer Dustin Lance Black, and the movie is being produced by Richard N. Gladstein.
