"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

Documentary of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' cross country trip to the World's Fair in 1964 that was compiled from over 30 hours of footage with a few very well done recreations to help string it all together. I haven't read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test but I do agree with some reviewers that this movie is more of a supplement to that story than the be all and end all of it. Still, I found it very enjoyable to watch actual footage of their journey. Context of the times is provided by archival footage of current events. It's also not all about the trip. The prologue goes more into the acid tests that followed and into Kesey's personal life in Oregon. Definitely a historical document well worth watching especially if you're interested in the time period in which the beatniks and hippiedom intersected.
