  • haha how the fuck did video of Johnny Depp discussing his meeting with Allen Ginsberg provoke a deranged argument about Israel and Palestine? Youtube...

  • Love how he gestures and flicks his 'brows at the name: Burroughs.

  • Once again, Johnny Depp, the luckiest fucking bastard who ever lived.

  • @sheyon1000; you are a very stupid AmeriKKKan..you embarrass us all.

  • lame

  • Americans love to scream to the rest of the world about how free they are, then they bash those who practice the very freedoms they claim US troops are fighting for. It makes no sense.

  • Read sphincter and u will know who Allen ginsberg really was and who those huge numbers of degenerate liberals folowed and who the media praised as a sensitive and a great poet. "SPHINCTER" its a poem abaout ginsbergs anus and his consernse if it will last long enough for hardcore anal sex.Disgusting piece of jewish communist drugcrazed filth.

  • @sheyon1000 People can write about what they want - a founding principle of a free society. Just as you are free to write your derogatory generalisations.

  • @craigpsimpson u dont agree that this might poison a society?especcially when this piece of filth is praised by media and other vip.

  • @sheyon1000  I don't think society is ever at risk from poetry, it is, after all, an artistic reflection on society itself.

  • @sheyon1000 Jewish communist drugcrazed filth? Are you a member of the NAZI party?

  • @ElGoodo Your fantasy nazi party u mean?the one that the media and propoganda made u beleive? no i dont think so.

  • @sheyon1000 I know pot is good, but you should probably take a break, it gets you a little too crazy after awhile. I guess I should have looked at your page before I even asked that question, because now it appears it was a rhetorical question. I think it's you who are brainwashed by decades old propaganda. If your beloved Hitler won the war there would be no youtube for you to post your deranged opinions on then what would you do while your moms at work? Your a disgusting racist piece of shit.

  • @ElGoodo again the pot u smoked didnt take out the hate from inside. even if we have utube today we dont have real freedom of speech u know.People are so afraid to talk without being politically correct.They seem to be scared by the term "hater" or"racist"! Its all bullshit u know calling me a racist doesnt effect me cause these things are not coming from myside.Ginsberg was atacked even by his jewish tribes men for his destructive culture so they are racist too?

  • @sheyon1000 You are beyond saving my friend. Don't talk to me about hate when you have a page that says you are anti-multicultarism, anti-equality, anti-zionist and so on. You are the one who lives off hate. And we have a hell of a lot more freedom of speech than we would if someone like Hitler is running things. Do you have blonde hair and blue eyes? Cause if not you'd probably be dead. And no, Jewish people can't really be racist against Jewish people now can they? Ignorant piece of shit.

  • @ElGoodo you are pro genoside of gaza then? fuck u asshole,zionists are the most blood thirsthy evil people in this world.First problem in every aspect of life we have on this planet.The world is engulfed in phoney wars cause of the evilness and greed for power by the zionist establishment u fuckig cunt.You tell me im evil u little brainwashed clown,i suggest u kill youself, go hang yourself cause u dont have eny clue what is happening in the real world.U sir are an idiot just hang yourself asap

  • @sheyon1000 wow dude. its youtube comments. dont get so worked up

  • @unholychunk im not i know these people fucking hipocrates.

  • @sheyon1000 Do us all a favour and be anti-life and end yourself.

  • Johnny Derp is amazing.

    He has the best taste and has discovered great unknown hairymen like Allan Ginzburg.

    Everything Johnyyy Derp does, I want to do. Except move to France, and hate on America, cuz thats gay.

  • @HailSagan4Realz dont use the word 'gay' as an insult. its offensive to people.

  • Comment removed

  • @EltonJohnRocketMan Duly noted, cocksucker.

  • @HailSagan4Realz screw you, you stupid homophobe

  • Johnny Depp is a tasteless aging hipster.

  • Ok. let's hear what Johnny Depp has to say about Allen Ginsberg.

  • Good job, Allen Ginsberg. That's a great picture.

  • R u kidding me? good grief, is their anything Johnny Depp hasn't done. know i know where all the cool in my life went, it ran off with him! #$@^!$!  ^_^

  • @111sunder um....what hasnt he done.... i dont think he's yelled 'balls BALLS balls!' at the top of his lungs.

  • To understand Ginzberg's Howl, one needs to finish the poem. Holy, Holy, Holy, everything is holy. There are two great spiritual poems of the 20th Century. . .Ginzber's Howl and Elliot's Wasteland. Both state the necessity of spirituality. The bum is as holy as the seraphin (angel). Ginsberg was also a man of great courage, coming out of the closet when homosexuality (see Alan Turing) was considered sexual deviation. Both Eliot and Ginsberg changed my life forever.

  • Johnny Depp never won an oscar.

  • @kirbienstien the oscars never won johnny depp

  • I just did not think he was in the same group. But anyway, Ginsberg was so far ahead of other people intellectually, he must have felt all alone. Unless he was hanging out with other beat people. But Wolfe had to know him. He had to.

  • I won't let any one smoke, window or not. When I saw Ginsburg on Compton street , he was the loneliest looking man I'd ever seen, that may have been exacerbated by me recognising him while nobody else did, he was looking for company and failing badly. Fame is only as fucked up as those who require it.

  • awesome thanks for posting this.

  • I couldnt give two flying fucks about Johnny Depp but I definitely am jealous of his experiance with Ginsburg. Depp has a bit of my respect for his adoration towards Allen.

  • WTG Johnny Depp. Remind us how cool smoking is. i like you a lot, but must agree with filmerado. I end all my sentences in dollar signs starting now$

  • Depp was a mute in the presence of Ginsberg, had to go to the cigarettes

  • Ginsburg was the greatest poet of the 20th Century. In Howl, he revealed all of the ugliness and filth that were a part of his world. But then comes the footnote. . . "Holy, Holy, Holy, the bum's as holy as the serapin." Perhaps before condeming his work, perhaps you might want to try writing something with Ginsburg's intensity! As far as Johnny Deep, he gets it.. Does anyone who has made a comment dare to reveal their talent! I doubt it.

    Fred the Existentialist

  • I'm going to be honest here, Ginsberg's poem 'Howl' makes me want to be sick. I like it very much, I enjoyed reading and interpretating it. But writing a 2000 word essay on 'why you think it should be studied at university level' is enough to make me howl. Forgive the pun.

  • @OceanicLoveLetters You should learn to read.

  • pretty boy ^<3

  • Starfu--er Johnny Dip has no personality. He just sucks up everybody else's. That what you do when you're a man who wears make-up!

  • I really hope he doesn't remake 'On the Road'. He'll glam it up, which defeats the purpose.

  • hey those are my fears too, I heard Coppola owns the film rights and the director of Motor Cycle diaries is trying to do it for him. you think it would be any good?

  • @spiderjonze

    I'd like to believe that "capable hands" would treat the work of Kerouac with the affection it deserves, but common sense tells me different. Kerouac himself despised what the hipster establishment did to 'On the Road'. Anyone who likes Updike, Capote, Vidal or Palahniuk cannot possibly translate it as they can never seem to fathom its meaning. Ultimately, this is why 99 out of 100 times the movie isn't worth it: Just read the book!

  • "you can smoke, but you´ll have to sit by the window".....is this same famous quote/reference i´m missing??

  • "You can smoke... but, you'll have to sit by the window"

    Man, that's some mind bending cleverness right there.

  • @h0b0ch1c Lol! That made me chuckle.

  • Would s/o be so kind as 2 upload Ginsberg's fantastic musical / philosophical excursion "The Lion For Real"...

  • Comment removed

  • what a faggot

  • Tool.

  • He is too cool for cool.

  • Master con artist. When will he make another white face movie?

  • Johnny Depp aligns himself with yet another person of cultural significance!

  • Comment removed

  • @ZLUGGO Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they hit on every guy they come in contact with.

  • Comment removed

  • He wasn't a paedophile he only joined Nambla to make a point.

  • Celebrity jumps on the beat bandwagon. Not to tell what he believes, just to buff an image he covets.

  • actually Johnny depp has been a fan and idolised ginsberg since he was introduced to 'on the road' by his elder brother at 15, wayyy before he became a celebrity. I think depp is genuine here. He met Ginsberg while reciting Karouac.

  • Wow Johnny, what a winner you turned out to be !

  • Think of sitting in a room with Kerouac, Ginsberg and Johnny. Then you could have the most interesting conversations. /Swede

  • what an anecdote...

  • who ever said "nice pic" I commend you. Not everyone has an eye for it. I think that was the point of this story. Ginsberg is from my hometown his influence is all around me. I live on the "angry negro streets" Do any of you know what I am talking about? I wonder...

  • do you drag yourself through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix?

  • ( lol ) at these comments about NAMBLA. Stick to the poetry people.

  • Can we have the commenting space that you took up back?

  • nice pic.

  • It's because you expected it that you didn't recieve it. Precisely for such a reason, someone like Ginsberg, for poetic reasons, or Depp for reasons all his own would laugh, and then send you on your way with George W. Bush's home address written on your forehead with White-Out. You would get all the things you seek, there. Fool on the hill, indeed.

  • i know right. all these thumbs down are not Ginsberg fans, more like little fifteen year old Johnny fans.

  • His lifestyle is in his poems. Native thoughts, executed.

  • Wow! I found someone I'd let smoke in my kitchen! Cos baby it's raining outside.

    Lucky Allen!

  • why is letting him smoke by the window such a kind sweat gesture? Maybe he's talking about the photograph? I guess that's kind and sweet but If you were an old gay dude, wouldn't you want a picture of hot asses Johhny Depp to hang on your wall?

  • It's cool that depp is in with the wild guys.. Hunter S. Thompson, Allen Ginsberg & Jack Kerouac.

  • Agreed!! if I liked johnny depp b4, now that I see this (and fear and loathing :P) I kinda live him!

  • what kind of tea did they have? (if you know what i mean.)

    just kidding, couldn't resist, it's allen ginsberg man

  • Obnubilators is only saying what we're all thinking in passing.

    I don't understand what Depp is doing slumming with empty pop culture trash like Ginsberg, Burroughs, Thompson etc. (Please, before you respond, NOTE THE SCARCASM)

  • Comment removed

  • @EuchridEucrow1 Man, I was just about to thumb down the hell out of that, haha. Nice username as well.

  • How does he bash* America in this clip ??. If i'm wrong correct me, there wasn't much of a over-baring rediculous amount of spotlight and media attention on the days of the "patriotic american actors" to know what they did and how they felt on a personal level. MGM also had a really good cover up on anything that those actors COULD have done wrong or "was in bad taste" that would tarnish there public image.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, problem with that....those actors...FUCKING DEAD MAYBE? I hardly think someone's country of origin has anything to do with acting ability...

  • I sold a hi -band 8mm camera to Depp and Ryder when they were in the Tampa area making Edward Sissorhands. The foul odor emitting from the both of them was incredible. I would describe it as wet stray dog mixed with burnt swiss cheese.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • It's no secret that Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA. He said he joined only to stand up for their freedom of speech and expression and once doing so he quit. I don't agree with NAMBLA or Ginsberg's ideas on it but he sure did write some great stuff.

  • ginsberg was hittin on depp

  • you bet, just like cassady's reluctant affair with ginsberg. Ginsberg somehow convinces these hotties to shack up with him. I love ginsberg tho.

  • hahah your right. what a dirt old man haahha :p

  • i honestly wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they had sexual relations

  • So what? would that not be their private business?

    Who cares? OK, one could be happy for Mr. Ginsberg...but who cares?

  • well, what's wrong with making assumptions???

  • hahaaa.....but don't get me started on assumptions!

  • you've already begun!!! SPEAK YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

  • Johnny Depp baby, you are HOT. I'll bet Allen Ginsberg was glad to have you smokin' in his kitchen. Anything else smokin' that day?

  • lol thats exactly wat i thought too

  • nicotine siezure? come on.

  • Johnny Depp has impeccable taste in almost all things it would appear.

  • @14167Films what are his tastes in music?

  • he made a pass at me twice last year. johnny depp should save that one for parties, story really blew me away.

  • Re-read. We're growing old, is all. I used to want to join a Tuareg salt caravan from Timbukto to Agadir, Fachi, Tamanrasset to Cairo. Now that I heard about all the flies around camels, I'll just stay in my condo on the beach and drink cheap wine

  • Nescafe!

  • We love poetry!

    Check out the videos from the latest Festival of California Poets on our channel!

  • now i get it. you have a point

  • "Well you can smoke, but you'll have to sit by the window."

    man that's deep.

  • no it's not

  • That was my point aperisimo. These foolish actors and media hounds act so self important. They're lame.

  • that was an amazing story....

  • lol

  • go read the wall street journal and shut the fuck up.

  • hahahaha

  • haha nice

  • but alot more exciting than you

  • He didn't support NAMBLA's position, he joined them for a short time because he believed in their right to free speech and wanted to officially show that, and himself added that he hoped his membership would spark discussions about American laws about sexuality and youths. He quit when he thought his point had been made. He never said he supported pedophilia.

  • "Discussions about American laws about sexuality and youths?"

    Why on earth did he hope to spark discussion about sexuality related to youths? Wasn't he happy with the laws that prohibited sexual relations to minors?

  • America in itself doesn't have as clear rules as one would think. Age differences vary among the states, after that, if you are an adult within a certain age you're still allowed to have sex with minors within a certain age range. At the same time, it may be legal to have sex with someone, but illegal to take their picture, as that would be considered child pornography. Sex and marriage allowances for age are often different. It's not as simple as "sex with minors is bad."

  • So joining NAMBLA is the best thing to do, if you wanna be taken seriously on these issues?

  • Considering his wide-spread influence, I don't see why. It obviously attracted attention, and the first step to discussion is acknowledging a problem's existence. Obviously he took the shock value over the actual positions of the organization, or he would have stayed.

  • "acknowledging a problem's existence"

    What problem? That's it's not alright for adults to fuck minors in all legal cases?

  • No, that the laws are not clear and consistent. I can't help but feel that your reasoning is based on an illogical bias against Allen Ginsberg.

  • Well, the laws are not clear and consistent on many other issues, either. Funny that he thought this topic was more important than the others.

  • People are usually fine with talking about other topics. Anything involving minors and sex is taboo. Alan did enjoy turning people's heads, after all.

  • I'm fine with peoplew talking about adultery and pederastry, but not with people PROMOTING these things. I sure hope he was joking, even though he made no indication that he was joking.

  • It wasn't a joke, he didn't join them to promote them, and after his point was made he quit. I think it's not surprising that he relied on shock to make a point. Pushing people's buttons was one of the things that he did best.

  • Joining the organization was good promotion and good publicity for that organization. And what point did he make? That there's nothing wrong with speaking in favor of pedastry or NAMBLA.

  • He never spoke in favor of pederasty NAMBLA. He made a point that certain aspects of our current laws are in need of discussion. He never "promoted" them. You are making assumptions about something that just isn't there.

  • Joining an organization is still good promotion and good publicity for that organization, whether one speaks in favor of them or not.

  • That's a debatable point, considering he stated his reasons, and none of them was supporting the group. It's not like his admission into the group would change anyone's mind anyway.

  • Wow, Kristo! You really enjoy trolling the Ginsberg vids.

  • that doesn't mean he didn't love cock

  • i am sure allen made a pass at johnny.

  • i am sure allen made a pass at johnny.

  • I ain't with these folk.More of a Lenny Bruce,Bill Hicks man m'self.

  • Both,Depp and Ginsberg are awesome!

  • Ginsberg just HAD to ruin his reputation by advocating NAMBLA.

  • He was advocating Free Speech. He left after he thought he made his point. He also said NAMBLA was a place to discuss ideas, not a sex club.

  • haha, what reputation? he had a reputation for being a crazy ass on the fringe. he might have a literary reputation now, but dont confuse that for his actual reputation then.

  • As a musician and artist, I'm very influenced by the not only creativity, but the sheer solidarity of the beats (Cassady, Kerouac, Ginsberg, etc). I only wish that spirit of freethought and creativity would live on in current milieux. It's great to hear Leary, Depp and Thompson comment on him.

  • There is so much to hate about Ginsberg...and so much to love.

  • johhny depp talking about allen ginsberg....what a great clip. thanks for posting it!

  • I fail to see the problem young man.

  • Your logic seems a bit flawed. Perhaps you should study a bit more. Education is very valuable and may help you throughout your life.

  • "Communism", "homosexuality" and even "America" are words that describe broadly perceived concepts of human behaviour. None of these things REALLY exist. Human beings exists. Allen Ginsberg was a human being. He loved life and poetry, wrote and spoke well, and became well-known and loved in his time alive.

    Judge not, lest ye be judged, ya?

  • Some things are better learned through study. You may find that everything is not black and white. Life is a bit more complicated than that.

  • Hey, admit, you must be Beavis or Butthead. Or both!

    Great stuff. Please go on...

  • when is this guy playin neal cassady in a movie about his life?!

  • thats silly. while i hate much of holy wood, i don't think that it prevents them from saying their opinion. Depp seems like one of the few reasonable intelligent and down to earth stars out there and if he feels that he has an opinion then let him voice it. Who deserves the right to speak his or her opinion, anybody its America

  • Complete gibberish.
