You're either on the bus or you're off the bus. Furthur, the original Magic Bus driven by Neal Cassady that carried Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters across the country and into history may be taking to the road once more. If the proper finances can be raised, the psychedelic Day-Glo vehicle, lionized in Tom Wolfe's
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, will be restored by Kesey's wife and son in preparation for a planned documentary road trip. Already, Willie Nelson has offered to install a biodiesel engine into the bus Kesey bought with money he earned from his debut novel
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. At the present time, Furthur sits in northern California, sinking into a swamp.
