Except They’re Real Life

​by Lori M. Walton

​I love Ken Babbs; he’s the cutest. The Pranksters are a big reason why the scene happened at all. They are such over-the-top, unique, and totally cool humans that it’s as if they are amazing made-up characters from a book. We are so lucky that they are actual people we can hang with, learn from, and be healed.

​I was talking to Mountain Girl, and she said about the 60s, “Back then we were big on reading.” You can tell. They’re all so smart and knowledgeable and incredibly open-minded.

​They’re larger-than-life people, but so grounded and really kind. When you go to shows and people put stickers on you that say, “Are you kind?” All the Pranksters, to this day, all walk the walk. To them kindness is what’s most important.
