By: SomewhereInTheGray. on 15 Nov 08, 23:31:58
He just used a lot of words and didn't say very much. I don't hate Ginsberg, and sometimes I feel he had the right idea about some things, but he kind of lacked the word power to really say anything.

look bro, ive done acid and plenty of mushrooms and i smoke weed till i cant breath...so im not up on my pedastal... i am also am confident that i understand the concept...i was simply saying that he is way fucked up on acid, and he cant believe what is going on.. he is thinking of a rational situation so in depth that he cant handle the actual compexity of the seemingly uncomplicated every situation. you are gay

IN every reply you use the word "weird" in a derogatory manner. That is remarkable. Did you know that in the 50's & early sixties the "Beats" (as you like to call them) were labeled as "weird", and considered immoral persons from the gutter? It seems now that the gutter perspective of the "Beats" has been victorious, & anything that questions their understanding of freedom or creativity or fun is "weird", "homosexual-hating-fearing",& snobbish. You live the justifications of a genuine last man.

By: JamboCordoba. on 17 Sep 08, 01:20:16
Just because your herd is composed entirely of elderly nerds with weird Ubermensch complexes (yes, I'm speculating) doesn't mean it isn't a herd. Anyways, I'm unsure as to what grounds you have to even begin to accuse me of being part of a "vapid herd existence." Do you accuse me of this because I like fun? Because I enjoy the literature and poetry of the beats? I already said "bitch please" last time. And I really don't feel like going to the effort to interpret your weird math metaphors.

By: rabmunch. on 17 Sep 08, 01:10:55
A man of straw, of wet straw. It's safer that way. Life is fun. Fashion is fun too. Enjoy your vapid herd existence. Death will come like a dream. Every moment of a trivial & vain existence are different & entertaining, but all the same. You are a numerator over an infinitely herdlike denominator. A cipher.

By: rabmunch. on 17 Sep 08, 01:05:00
I am no homo-phobe, in that I do not fear "man" in general or whatever is the "same". What is "uptight"? What is the opposite? Relaxed? I am not bored: you give me indigestion & nauseate. How then can I adhere to my motto when you continually disturb me peptically? Mens sane in corpore sano. You are a man made of straw. Stay away from all sparks and flames, or any source of heat: "It'll do you no good". I will clarify: you are a last man.

Stop being obtuse. ...
By: JamboCordoba. on 16 Sep 08, 23:45:17
Stop being obtuse. Are you a homophobe or are you just bored and uptight? Are you actually setting up some kind of straw man who advocates rape? Is this your idea of effective argument by hyperbole? Step out of your Ivory tower. It'll do you some good. And clarify your weird gutter rhetoric.

Jamboy: digitally massaging the prostate is apparently good for your health as well as being fun, so you may enjoy a double benefit. Why dont you provide the same courtesy for your friend as you fellatiate him? That too may be fun! Conundrum for you tonight: can rape be consensual? It will certainly be "con-sensual", though both you and your boy will have a different "sense" about it. Question: were you born in the gutter, or is living there your way of having some more fun?

By: JamboCordoba. on 16 Sep 08, 21:57:04
Bitch please. I have fun every day. My knowledge of the degree to which Ginsberg was in fact involved in pederasty is limited. Lets keep in mind age of consent varies by country and time period, though. Terminology plays a role here too. The term "boy" can easily denote a young guy of consensual age. And its not as if we totally dismiss the accomplishments of George Washington for being a slave owner. So, chill out, and go have some fun. Let Kerouac inspire you, dammit. Thats what he's here for.

Your selection of favorites indicates to me that you have no interest in anything non-canonical (and we're talking non-canonical as of maybe 1950). Whats more, you seem to have no interest in anything that's at all fun.

By: rabmunch. on 29 Jul 08, 09:27:13
just for the record: neither I nor my friends are so foolish or vain as to think I am a genius. I don't live with my mother, I am not Catholic, and I never go to movies. So, now what have you to say in defense of Gintzpurgh and his kind? They are a malicious, vile race; of humane sentiment they haven't a trace. Imbecilic, half insane, & trivial. Pretending to radicalism with the intent to shock ordinary middle class morals. May I suggest for you: rectalingus?

You remind me of ...

By: rabmunch. on 15 Jul 08, 07:19:50
It is incumbent upon you to explain how gintzpurgh had "talent", & that he is a "notable American poet." This is all merely repetition of what a tasteless crude element of public opinion repeats ad nauseum. It rings hollow. It has no substance. It is shallow. The beatniks cannot be understood as artists by any manner of means. They were insolent rebels against gentle middle class moralism. It constrained their urges, & held them in contempt. It despised them, not without good reason, & instinct.

By: nhnbsp. on 15 Jul 08, 06:27:27
i didn't think that i had missed the "thrust" of what you said, but i don't know what hairsplitting tolerance is, so i'm at least a little lost. maybe you could explain your point in easy to digest words for me(you have time since i satirize myself for you). i've got to say, for an intellectual superior satirist, you seem sensitive. what would nietzsche think? and am i so bad for focusing on the positive in people? for example, just now you stuck to words you know how to spell. GOOD JOB!

By: rabmunch. on 14 Jul 08, 21:55:33
I would rather pick "a fight" than wallow in idiocy and pick my nose. But I dont "pick fights" either. You fail to see the thrust of what I have said. You are indeed a fine scholar with all your hairsplitting tolerance. Do you suck your thumb while you reason so prudently? I mustn't complain about the inability of others to grasp a point. It is as necessary as gravity. What is left to say but to satirize? When someone like you speaks, you rob me of my task. Why? You satirize yourself.

By: nhnbsp. on 14 Jul 08, 19:25:00
rabmunch, let me start by saying i'm not a huge ginsberg fan. i feel he was talented, and i think he's a very notable american poet but his work doesn't really speak to me. as to not seeing or feeling the truth of your comments, it's hard to give much creedence to somebody that is picking a fight in the youtube comment section; why tell all these people that their favorite poet is garbage? and as to your comment on caliban having more character and being more capable of humanity...

By: rabmunch. on 14 Jul 08, 12:43:48
Right you are. I did spell Caliban incorrectly. Thanks for noticing. Good of you to read my comments, though I am sure you cannot feel or see the truth in them - otherwise you wouldn't be so particular about how I spelled Caliban. There is no question that Caliban has more character and is capable of greater humanity than the descendants of gintzpurgh. "...get a new master, get a new man!"

That's poetry for you: incoherent ramblings. To appreciate it, let go of the urge to understand the content of the lyrics. Listen to the melody of ol' Al's nasal drone and frisky Frisco accent first, as if it were a solo instrument in a jazz jam. Then pick up on Macca's rhythmical strumming. Then shut down your PC, visit the library and read about the Beat Poets and US social history in the 1950's through the 1980's. Then listen again. Maybe you still won't like it, but you'll sure 'dig it'.

Dylan probably said that to escape meaningless labels. Labels have uses as long as we realise that they're just like life: transient and meaningless

I don't think a poetic touch makes my opinions more valid, I just like a poetic touch every once in a while. Perhaps you should consider not putting people into little boxes based on your impressions of their opinions, teacher.

By: zimmiesgirl. on 13 Oct 08, 21:25:35
Long ago & far away, Ginsberg chaperoned a 14-year-old runaway from Indiana onto Ken Kesey's psychedelic bus Further. Soon thereafter, he shephered the same girl thru the Village's late night streets to a coffee house where a young Bob Dylan was singing & playing harp. Four years passed. He locked arms with her at an antiwar protest where they were arrested with Abbie Hoffman. 1989: They drank buckets of wine & cried buckets of tears upon Hoffman's death. See ya later, Allen Ginsberg.

By: braincontained. on 23 Jul 08, 09:20:14
I found this video very awkward. When Ginsberg asks Dylan what graves he's seen, Dylan pauses for a long time, then sais: "Victor Hugo's", while gazing upon the ground through his black lenses and scratching a spot on his back it seems he can't quite reach. I even wondered if he was lying - if he'd never seen Hugo's grave at all, but simply fabricated a pressured response. Everyone here is applauding the footage... Why? There was zero rapport; their words fell to the stones.

Blastingcaps, not only is your grammar laughable to the point of hilarity, you also prove your own ignorance through your baseless arguments. For one, Ginsberg was held in high poetic esteem by William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, and W.H. Auden, all three of whom are regarded as some of the greatest poets of the age. I very sincerely doubt he was a "shitty" poet. Also, hm, Allen Ginsberg was the first American to chant the Hare Krishna mantra so...he made it hip, he didn't join the wagon.

By: BruceLeroy16. on 15 Aug 08, 20:00:33
Blastingcaps, allow me to demonstrate what a complete and utter failure you are. (1) No one cares about your imaginary tales of courage because no one's impressed by you. (2) Allen Ginsberg was not a Hindu. He was a Tibetan Buddhist under the lineage of Trogyam Rinpoche. (3) Being as he was the driving force behind a generation that changed the face of modern literature, I'd think it safe to say that at no point was he/is he/or will he ever be "forgotten". Good day, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY.

Guts? to be surrounded by other stinking idiot hippies running your mouth is guts? Normandy is guts. Punchin the first black motherfucker who threatened me when i was locked up was guts. Trust me twinkle toes, you dont know what guts is. Now go watch some more naked boy news, pedophile.

By: blastingcaps. on 06 Aug 08, 14:58:34
1. your wrong and i have nothing to prove. I already knew you were an idiot, that your also a poor judge of character proves it. 2.I was not being obnoxious, your just not able to keep up with somebody you have a decade on..which is pathetic. I dont listen to "my buddies" again you lapse back into what others think. Disgraceful. 3. I taught you more than allen ginsburg ever could have. go to bed junior (thats obnoxious).

By: kynoceph. on 03 Aug 08, 07:23:28
You want to talk to me? Here's what I think. (1) I doubt you really are a jailbird like you say you are. More likely you're just a /b/tard stirring shit. (2) You're being deliberately obnoxious. In spite of what your buddies have told you, this is not the same thing as engaging in a conversation, nor does it expand minds. (3) I've wasted enough time on you already. Goodnight.

The notion that ...
By: molloyx. on 03 Aug 08, 02:04:10
The notion that Ginsberg was a forgotten American poet in the farqing 60's speaks to your ignorance of American poetry.[ HOWL was published in 1956]. I love that he was kicked out of Cuba by Fidel [ and RAPIDO] for announcing that he was 1] a faggot and 2] a pot smoker. The following day he led a massive parade in Prague. And this speaks to my respect and love for his guts, character and boundless creativity.

Fuck allen. I was ...
By: blastingcaps. on 02 Aug 08, 22:32:01
Fuck allen. I was talking to you. So who needs advice about the "true self"? Your not even talking for you. But dig, I could level that exact same criticism at him. Your telling me he was a hindu? Nah. He was a lame, already forgotten american poet who needed a gimmick just like his guru's to get his message across to uptight americans assholes like buckley. I am currently reading about hinduism so i understand why you think he might say that but i think its an unprovable and lame assertion.

What Allen would ...
By: kynoceph. on 02 Aug 08, 19:27:30
What Allen would have told you, I am thinking, is that you have never been your actual Self. According to his Buddhist beliefs, he probably would have told you that the self that got you into "fights with every kinda motherfucker" was not your true Self, but the identity that you built to protect you from your fear. In other words, maybe you were never your Self, but put your belief in a version of yourself that was entirely an illusion. Anyway that's what Allan might have said.

I am sorry i ...
By: blastingcaps. on 02 Aug 08, 17:12:32
I am sorry i laughed. It was just funny that you didnt understand what i meant. Here is what i mean. All my life i have ACTUALLY been myself. Its gotten me into fights with every kinda motherfucker you can imagine. But the worst fight was with the system(s). educational and than legal. If one follows your advice to its only real and logical conclusion you will wind up in prison. TRUST me. Now does it make sense? There is no argument.

By: garrettstewart. on 30 Jul 08, 16:07:14
perhaps the people are laughing at themselves - would that not be the intention of the poem. people laugh for more reasons than mere comedy - a lot of times i laugh because of a revelation or being overtaken by happiness. i think that's what is so amazing about ginsberg - he understands that there is more to the act of laughing than just ridicule.

By: mohair8he. on 20 Sep 08, 06:06:21
WHEN WAS THIS MADE? If it was made when it looks like it was made, you had a lot of civil rights leaders and supporters getting beaten/killed, a war in South East Asia, the young hippies, the old BEAT cowboys, new drugs, everyone knows the history, this is a film of TWO people who played a part in that history, talking about what was going on at the time, just a conversation like we may have now about the Middle East or North Korea. This is fun to watch, thank you OM, you are great.

By: theMAXILOPEZpsycho. on 13 Sep 08, 17:27:37
This illustrates why kerouac had the most class out of the beats; he didn't like to make such an exhibition of himself in front of camera...what a ridiculous era it must've been - the 60's that is - a few guys write, by my reconing, 2 good books, a few ok books, some good poems, a few ok books and poems, plus mountains of rubbish, then they're wheeled out in front of camera and treated like everything they say was pure budda wisedom!!!

I'm a big, big fan of Kerouac's On The Road, but until now I'd never seen or heard Neal Cassady in a video. And there he was, with Allen Ginsberg (alias Carlo Marx), talking his pseudo-intellectual gibberish while rubbing himself with his hand down his pants.

By: mojojojo787. on 13 May 08, 00:57:43
Had Cassady's life progressed no further than his own train-hoping existence rather than on Kerouac's pages to millions the world would have lost a treasure of a character and the American essence of spiritual freedom; which given our political climate the desperate need to reinvigorate a new movement is all the more apparent. Without insanity there cannot be progression.

By: samgould. on 25 Oct 08, 04:59:35
I don't know. I can tell you that some off the voices from Section Two are: Ed Sanders, Tom Hayden, David Dellinger, Rennie Davis, and Ginsberg. The first section is obviously William F. Buckley and Ginsberg from an episode of Firing Line. I can't remember where I found the audio from Section Two. But it would be fairly easy to find if you were looking for video concerning the Chicago DNC in '68. All the audio is from their and the chanting in the background in Ginsberg in Lincoln Park.
