I was really interested in getting into the minds of our characters from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Along the way, I stumbled upon this really interesting article that created a mix-tape for the late Randle McMurphy during his time on the ward. I listened to each of the songs and read the lyrics and these songs really depict McMurphy's thought process throughout his time in the ward and what he was probably musically feeling at certain points in the novel. Take a listen to a few and draw some parallels if you would like!
McMurphy's Mixtape Article
It's so great to see others associating the book and its characters with music. It also ties in really well because during this time period music was going through its own evolution/revolution. I'm definitely gonna check this out and listen to the tracks.
