Allen Ginsberg Sings on Firing Line

the intensity of ginsberg's eyes is haunting.

doeas anyone know what he said

Television rather ironically was so much better before they tried to gloss it up the way they do now.

Let's start a traditional tv values movement!

Really, really interesting clip. The description says it all about the peculiarity of the context. Thanks for posting.

so ... ?

Am I the only one who likes William F. Buckley?  His beliefs are the direct opposite of mine . . . But I like him a lot somehow.

Same here. I admired his intelligence despite disagreeing with most of his views. But he did favor the legalization of all drugs.

There IS something there, but I'm not sure what it is. He's an interesting person. Not sure if I like him, though.

The infuriating thing about Buckley is how FAIR he could be, how he was able to understand that, although people thought differently from him, that didn't mean he was obligated to crush or humiliate them. Hard to believe, but in American public life there used to be style, manners, and class - from everyone. In Buckley's time, acting like a jerk was SO uncool.

Burroughs did so much heroin, he couldnt get it up for either sex.
