This week's guest on No Simple Road is the one and only Ken Babbs and we couldn't be more honored! Ken is one of the original band of Merry Pranksters who, along with best friend Ken Kesey, became some of the psychedelic leaders of the 1960's and hosted The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tests. Without the psychedelic foundation that they created No Simple Road simply would not exist!Ken stops by to talk with us about his new book 'Cronies: Adventures with Ken Kesey, Neal Cassidy, The Merry Pranksters and The Grateful Dead', traveling across the country with The Merry Pranksters, not remembering the 60's, how to stay positive, and a whole lot more. Remember to hang out after the conversation with Ken to catch up with the No Simple Road crew!NEW!!!
