GREGORY CORSO from FRIED CHOES COOKED DIAMONDS

[TheodorBjork]

Such a interesting poet. A great poem, and I gather, a very smart and talented man, yet his persona is such a crass country bumpkin, such a character, at times seeming like som character from a sit com with his embarrassing outburst ("shut up") and thoughtless bhaviour...

What that an act? Could someone be so talented artistically, and such a dope otherwise? OR, was his poetry NOT great? Did he simply ride on the wave of the Beats? (He never was fully appreciated...)

CORSO IS EVIL

Today is the day you decide against mainstream views: and one of those views is so-called "beat poetry." The Wacks are the true artists of modernity. WE aren't to be feared or hated. WE are you. Search The Wacks on YouTube. Many thanks.

Corso is evil. Today is the day you decide against mainstream views: and one of those views is so-called "beat poetry." The Wacks are the true artists of modernity. WE aren't to be feared or hated. WE are you. Search The Wacks on YouTube. Many thanks. Learn the truth.

My landlady told me about the time she first met Gregory Corso; she had called trying to get ahold of Alan Ginsberg but Corso answered the phone instead. "He ain't here honey but I am, so why don't ya come on ovah?" She imitates his voice perfectly, it's hilarious.

Those were the days.

Heroes without hate

warriors without guns

I was in there somewhere.

And I try to be there still in my heart and in my actions

[nattt23]

I wish I was there. Or I wish us young could do something communal... instead of stabbing, shooting and hating each other.

amazing recital. rhythmic. even when he messes up or gets distracted, he's able to retain the pace very quickly.
