Peter Bogdanovich, who directed The Last Picture Show, co-wrote it with Larry McMurtry. McMurtry joined Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters on his bus Further. I have been reading about Roger Corman in the book Fast, Cheap and Under Control, which details his methods and the directors he mentored, such as Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, and Bogdanovich. Bogdonavich also authored the books "Who the Devil Made It" and "Who the Hell's in It".

Ken Kesey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the royalties of which financed his Merry Pranksters, which was detailed by Tom Wolfe in his book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. At those tests a band was hired to play in the background, or not play, whatever they wanted, and you can see the remnants of that band at the Sphere in Las Vegas these days. Wolfe also wrote The Right Stuff and Bonfire of the Vanities, the latter of which is required primary reading by all men seeking their fortune; best practice would be to read it once per decade at the age of 25, 35, and 45. As Munger is said to have said (but where and when?), "There are some things you learn best by experience. But there are some things you don’t have to learn by experiencing yourself—like not pissing on an electric fence."
