Was Krassner considered a Merry Prankster? I identify him mostly for his journalism, The Realist etc. I guess I should read that NYTimes article you linked before I go shooting off my mouth haha. It's that he wasn't a big part of Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tsst book, probably that.

From his Wiki entry:

Paul Krassner (April 9, 1932 – July 21, 2019) was an American author, journalist, comedian, and the founder, editor and a frequent contributor to the freethought magazine The Realist, first published in 1958. Krassner became a key figure in the counterculture of the 1960s as a member of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and a founding member of the Yippies. He died on July 21, 2019, in Desert Hot Springs, California.

I was a huge Raiders fan as a kid and Cliff Branch was my favorite player, he was so clutch and so fast. It's a crime he isn't in the HoF already.

I guess Daryle Lamonica, Fred Biletnikoff, and Kenny Stabler were all favorites too at different times, but Cliff Branch was definitely up there.

Just terrible. I always meant to read one of Morrison's novels. Now it looks like I'll never get that chance.

Song of Solomon may be the great American novel of the 20th century. Read it.
