Allen Ginsberg Stomp Out Your Cigaret Rag

[1PhatL]

The rivalry? Don't smoke!

[cyclos12]

I wonder how he felt about spliffs?

[Mr8MrsKiefAir]

@cyclos12 he was a medical cannabis patient (before there were licenses) & was a cannabis activist.... listen to the poem "America" & "Howl"

[23Godsmessage32]

2 Weeks Freee For mee

[SrslyAnnoyed]

Allen liked pot, he didn't like cigarettes.

Allen, wherever you are -- I've been cigarette free for a week now. Love you and always will.

[radicalricky]

don't smoke the official dope

[Anghdhpstr]

But Allen, I like to smoke.

[tall32guy]

This sounds more like a comedy performance, with avant-garde influences, than beat poetry or performance art. VERY catchy! LOL

[Anghdhpstr]

Also, don't forget to smoke some grass.

[jacob931]

this songs grate does any one know whare i can a free mp3 of it?

[francariet2]

and what makes you think that what you get is the only message there?...SNOB

[francariet2]

ha...what makes you think that you ¨get it¨?

[PandaMonsterKitto]

Best. Poem. EVER.

[katecommon]

why did he sing this?

[tsab564]

He speaks with first hand experience.

[francariet2]

you heard him...dont smoke

[joejjohnston]

jesus, you really don't get this do you??

[Moonanite]

Tobacco companies won't be feeling much hurt at the loss of American smokers. In fact thats a pretty egotistical thought. Developing nations are the biggest importers of American smokes, especially nations like China and Southeast Asian countries. Even developed nations like Japan have a large smoking culture. Americans should really just mind their own health instead of making all that noise, as they should in most matters...but don't.

[DocHou72]

I'm American and I already knew all of this, especially the part about China and Japan. I believe China has a higher population of smokers than America has plain population. I also mind my own business, most of the time. I don't think you really know anything about true Americans. Turn off your T.V.

[DocHou72]

I should say, real, as in real life, Americans . . . not "true" Americans . . . lol that sounds funny . . .

[Moonanite]

I think I know quite a few Americans...because I am one...and I live there. When I say "mind your own business" i don't mean stranger to stranger. I mean in geo politics and social issues (drug prohibition, gay marriage, civil liberties). And I don't watch T.V...

[DocHou72]

I know what you mean. I just think that most of that is just Americans in the public eye and if we judge it from that level then every western country and some others are like that, I mean that's what the UN is all about. I was recently accused of being a pedophile and reported to youtube simply because I was standing up for foreign countries' rights to have lower ages of consent than ours, lawl. I was actually being creepy though. Haha.

[DocHou72]

It just seems to me a bunch of people run around youtube raggin' on America and they really don't know what they're talking about.

[Moonanite]

Im not saying your experiences aren't valid, we're just coming from different frameworks of mind. you're right from your side n' im right from mine.

[Jesusplant]

because of people staying out of your own countries policies and shit your country is fucked.

your own government committed what is imo the most documented and obvious false flag operation and nothing was done. GG citizens of Failmerica.

whats your retort the big old Conspiracy label prob

[Moonanite]

I don't know what your point is. I'm not my country, I just live here.

[Jesusplant]

exactly get involved and mabey your country wouldn't disgrace you,

[Moonanite]

If you judge me on the basis on what country I live in despite the fact that you DONT know me...then I dare say I shouldn't much worry about what you think anyway. As i said before, I'm not my country.

[Jesusplant]

i'm not judging you based on the country you live in, i'm saying your country is going the way it is(down the toilet) because of people sharing your attitude of just stay out of social/political issues.

and YOU stated those were your thoughts/feelings.

don't try to distort what i was saying

[Moonanite]

I don't know what you're saying, man...I didn't say US citizens should be apathetic. My country has experienced "disgrace" in your eyes i suppose and in the world's view BECAUSE of your constant meddling in foreign affairs stemming from a sort of Bush "we are the world police attitude". I didnt say Americans should be apathetic to national politics or social issues. You're just making stuff up in your head, man, and I don't want any part of it.

[jonquil4000]

Umm just enjoy the poetry?

[juanarm]

dude suck cock does ya good and lay off this guy

[thewizardofdos]

Does anyone have the video when Allen sung this on Johnny Carson? No one believes me when I tell them about it.

[amaxamon]

this is flat-out brilliant on every level!

[zombi81hagy]

30 thousand die of coke or

Illegal speed each year

430 thousand cigarette deaths

That's the drug to fear

In USA Dont smoke Dont smoke Dont smoke

[miltso]

genuine genius like this hold up because it's timeless.

[Ginzi2]

He`s a fucking genious, isn`t he? As a poet I mean :)

[Zaknrfamaa]

suck dick, suck dick, suck dick, smoke weed, smoke weed, smoke weed, but don't smoke, don't smoke, don't smoke nicotine

such poetry, man

[jawa0621]

its a quote from the poem, how the hell are you giving this dumbs down?

[cristablack]

great!!!

[Pojothepanda]

Oke Tay Oke Tay, come with the day, Oke Tay, you'll still wanna play, Oke Tay, Oke Tay...

Mabey Some Day....

[KeMoniito]

You liberal pussies!... always prescribing people what to do. i stopped somking a year ago and now that i have listened to communist vermin like Ginsberg, i think i want a cigarrette... and i think im going to promote smoking in elementary schools.☺

[funkebone]

Go for it dude. Why not smoke 3 packs a day, in your room, with the windows closed. See if I care.

[funkebone]

Hey, that's a new one... liberals telling people what to do. I'm liberal, and I don't care what you do, so long as you keep your religion out of my face.

[KeMoniito]

Im not even religious, you vermin.☺

[funkebone]

good.

:)

Seriously though, who do think is going to fight for your personal liberties and rights? The cultural/social conservatives? About the only personal freedom they will fight for is the right to own guns. Beyond that, you can thank organizations like the ACLU and the electronic frontier foundation for fighting the good fight.

[KeMoniito]

Thank the ACLU? you are a communist if you really believe in the ACLU as a "freedom" organization. The vermin in The ACLU are for the decline of the West and Patriarchy. and for a pussyfied, feminized full of androgynous stupid beings that will not fitght against the new Orwellian kind of Tyrannical-homosexual She-ocracy in which straight men will be reduced to nothing more than "metrosexual"...'males'...

[KeMoniito]

im laughing hard at you. you are really and ignoramus and really i do not need liberals to "fightfor my "rights" but some body to Fight against YOU VERMIN and against to what you have done to our rights as MEN with your BIG BROTHER ooops! i mean big SISTER kind of TYRANNY.☺"

[rabmunch]

You've got the right objects of disgust.

But you don't know what's worthy of admiration. You had better take a look at your taste for American pop-culture, because all that is closely allied with what you think you despise.

Also: speak of "Andrarchy" - not patriarchy. The latter has no hope. Repeal Amendment 19.

[onyourshoulders]

don't believe everything FoxNews tells you

[KeMoniito]

I Don't Watch T.V or Read Any News Papers Any More... They Are Full Of Left-Wing Propaganda... In Fact All Of The Media, Including Entertainment,Is Biased To The Radical Gay-Lesbo Feminist Agenda,And All Of The Commie Liberal Garbage Ideologies... I Just Read Books. I Don't Care About The News. So you Are Once Again Wrong!.☺

[onyourshoulders]

Wow, you took the time to capitalize almost every word. Empty words don't suddenly become meaningful when you capitalize them but nice try. How does one have such strong opinions about the world without even paying attention to current events?

[KeMoniito]

When you look at the World through a larger lens as i do,you''' have a bigger picture of World events and can connect the dots easily. then you'll see that the News are irrelevant, because it is all the same bullshit everyday...

[KeMoniito]

...The Worst Of the Right Wing gets away with doing evil(wars,death penalty) and The Worst of The Left Wing too (abortion,'gay-marriage',and all of the feminist's anti-MEN agenda) so why bothering in reading about the same crap every day? your ideas is the only thing Empty here.☺

[KeMoniito]

yesss.. i agree with you a 100%☺

[heymistah01]

U CAN FUCK UR SELF WITH NEGITIVITY

"alot of republicans are cocksuckers"

-Ginsberg

[rabmunch]

Pleb.

[lazaris11]

Somebody needs to invest in a thesaurus. Vermin, vermin, vermin, vermin.

[wearXsunscreen]

i love this. it makes me smile more every time i hear it.

[tall32guy]

He was such a cute funny old man. :)

[tiedyedkarma]

@tall32guy Yes he was! and, so much more. He was the conscience of three or four generations.

[joshcabob]

[KeMonit0]

hahaha.. " the vermin rots from it's own pollution.. The Kustlars..the Hoffmans... the Ginsebergs, the Learys,the Warhols... All gone to hell... The vermin... the vermin... are dying... yeheeyyy..." from the beautiful poem titled "Scowl" By Dr. Michael Savage. watch it at: youtube. com/watch?v=Pl9kc6aq_KQ

[heymistah01]

[Malandrobuenciego]
