I didn't find out til this weekend that Ken Kesey had died. Here are two links: the first one is a somewhat "official" website, it's a nice tribute:

the second is just a page of news links:

I've only ever read OFOtCN, but what a novel it is, especially a first novel, quite amazing. I just have a real fondness for his place in american beat history.
Also, I just learned yesterday that Michael Karoli, guitarist of CAN, died this month. He was younger than the other CAN guys by nearly 20 years, he died of cancer. Can't find much of anything in english about him, mtvnews.com of course didn't have squat. Bummer
