Allen Ginsberg is reading this.His great voice and great love for Kerouac make the piece worth listening to. But Charlie Parker a Buddhist? The more conventional and more convincing interpretation of C.P. is that he was an angry jazz revolutionary .Kerouac was projecting his own wildly idealiz...

0:45-49 Cotton plays the melody as a fill,in a demonstration of subtlety and true Blues genius .

Wikipedia has her discography..This is from"So Glad I'm Here" on Rounder.....

Charming.

Powerful performance.Loose,unforced vocal replete with spicy surprises and great technique and tone on the guitar solo that, unlike many blues guitar solos,actually worked to serve the song.Masterful.

pretentious narcissistic posturing-no vocal skills -makes Dylan sound like Pavorrotti

brainless,pretentious crap utterly devoid of vocal skills-

"History happens twice-the first time as tragedy,the second time as farce"

Oh the joy of alternative life styles....but they do make for great spoken word performances...Carry on J.B.,you martyr to 60's Bohemianism.

Wonderful talk about poetry/translation/creation marred however by Mr. Eshelman's linking himself to the 9/11 "truthers" and the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of Amiri Baraka/Jones

Wonderful ..Soulful.. No affectations on the voice... Better than I'd imagine Springsteen doing & on the money guitar picking........... NiteLife Exchange

The ideological equivalent of a hula-hoop. And intellectually no match for Beavis & Butthead.... Terminally infantile

The saddest part of this ,aside from the fact that he represents it as poetry, is that his mind is so fogged up that he really seems to believe that this cheap rhetoric is profound. Thanks to the sorry state of his brain, Mr. Sinclair inadvertently points to the pitfalls of excessive usage. O...

The Blues & Be-Bop don't need John Sinclair to make their case.But John Sinclair needs The Blues & Be-Bop to make the case for him as a revolutionary ,spoken -word icon.....Sinclair who long ago descended into unintentional self parody is a human collage of cliches

I guess John Sinclair's not aware of Allen Ginsberg's or Huey Newton's comments on Castro....Sinclair's a typical,uninformed,delusional egomaniac,and is symptomatic of what went wrong with the leadership in the in the sixties,and why so many pure spirits became haunted 'Trash can crazies" rum...

Sinclair's phrasing is pitiful;it evinces zero feeling for the Blues as music.Embarrassing...No imagination,no soul in effect. Just patronizing romanticism.Charlie Thomas of the Drifters reads a poem called "The Blues Singer" based on a Son House performance on a spoken word C.D. called Psychede...

Fifty one years before this John Sinclair video was uploaded Monk won the Downbeat Critics award for the best jazz pianist. He also won that award in '60 &'61.Subsequent ly there were more Downbeat awards,a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation and a cover photo on Time Magazine.So Sinclair's "they" ma...

WOWWW

For a completely different approach to this song check out the Ray Charles version

Excellent vocal....captures the spirit of the original without descending to unintentional parody.....Nite Life Exchange

embarrassing....... Insular polemics masquerading as poetry.....and very poorly read,or should I say mumbled

He shaved his mustache but he's still easily recognizable.

Gilly Coggins is the piano player on this cut. A car accident led to his hospitalization,where he died. Up until the accident he ran a jam session at the C-Note (now defunct). Not only was he a consummate master of the88's,he had a deeply ironic take on the vagaries and injustices of the music bu...

Who's that beautiful sax player? Incredible how his runs echo & amplify the verbal imagery.
