QUESTION : 4
Generation of the 1950s and the hippies of the 1960s. "I was too young to be a beatnik, and too old to be a hippie," he said in a 1999 interview with Robert K. Elder.
X was also well known as the hero of Tom Wolfe's nonfiction book about
psychedelic drugs, ''The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'' (1968). The book somewhat mockingly compared X to the leaders of the world's great religions, dispensing to his followers not spiritual balm but quantities of lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, to enhance their search for the universe within themselves.
The book's narrative focused on a series of quests undertaken by X in the
1960's. First, there was the transcontinental trip with a band of friends he named the Merry Pranksters, aboard a 1939 International Harvester bus called Further. The journeys purposes were to film and tape an extended movie, to experience roadway America while high on acid and to practice ''tootling the multitudes''.
The book chronicles the Acid Tests (parties in which LSD-laced Kool-Aid was
used to obtain a communal trip), the group's encounters with (in)famous figures of the time, including famous authors, Hells Angels, and The Grateful Dead, and it also describes Xs exile to Mexico and his arrests.

QUESTION : 7
German roots. Seemingly joking, Von Trier announced himself to be a Nazi, after expressing sadness that he hadn't been born Jewish. As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Melancholia stars such as Kirsten Dunst sought to staunch his flow, Von Trier continued: "What can I say? I understand Hitler. He did some wrong things, absolutely, but I can see him sitting there in his bunker at the end ... I sympathise with him, yes, a little bit."
What did this lead to?
