Oh, no, Kesey is gone at 66. New York Times obituary

“As I’ve often told Ginsberg, you can’t blame the President for the state of

the country, it’s always the poets’ fault. You can’t expect politicians to

come up with a vision, they don’t have it in them. Poets have to come up

with the vision and they have to turn it on so it sparks and catches hold.”

–Ken Kesey
