Allen Ginsberg "greeted them wearing nothing but boxer shorts on his head and a do not disturb sign hung on his penis."

Them = George Harrison and Pattie Boyd and John and Cynthia Lennon. 
The Beatles winced at this and left shortly afterwards, Lennon hissing at Allen, ‘You don’t do that in front of the birds.’ It was their loss....

Did Ginsberg try the Costanza Defense?

'Was that wrong?'

I don't agree it was their loss. That is vulgar and insulting behavior. If he could hang a sign on his penis, it means it was erect. Today, that might get him an accusation of rape.

Shit on a stick.

Heteros exclude bisexual and gay men from their orgies because of the shit on a stick thing, prof. It isn't "icky," it's lethal. Let in the fags and you die.

You're a serial liar by omission about the AIDS epidemic, prof, because admitting the reality of that epidemic would make you look foolish. It's only by pretending that the AIDS epidemic didn't happen that your ideas make sense.

Allen Ginsberg ... didn't he write kids' poems?

Shouting Thomas said...

2 million deaths per year from AIDS, so at least 60 million deaths since the gay boys gave us this gift.

They're so fucking cute, those gay boys, aren't they prof?

And those of us who refuse to deny what they actually do are... bigots!

You are admirably filling the role of Lot's wife!

Bawahahahahahaha.

Didn't Ginsberg write a poem about sticking broomstick up his ass? I've lost track of the reference. Somebody help here.

I don't think that Ginsberg's oeuvre stands up well at all. What does stand out was his involvement with the Beats as a person--as a sort of glue holding things together.

Yoko helped John to evolve and not be so uptight in the company of naked poets.

Allen Ginsberg was an admitted pedophile, but he seems to get a cultural pass from the elites (Ny Times, The NewYorker) because, well, .....BEATNIK POETRY.

clint said...

Yes. What a terrible loss for the Beatles. *facepalm*

Shouting Thomas... WTF? And, Lot's wife??

David said...

Those Beatles. So unenlightened and lower class. They just didn't get it.

The thing I hated about mandatory English Comp II in college, which seemed pretty heavily overloaded with poetry, was that the only professors teaching that block of time, were male homosexuals.

I never understood why there wasn't ever any real men (you know, cavemen) who could step up to the plate.

Never understood the whole Hoopla around Ginsberg. He wrote 1/2 of a good poem. Otherwise, he was just your standard left-wing gay, drug user. And as someone wrote, he was a pedophile - as was William Burroughs. There was a reason many of the "Beats" loved Tangiers in the 50s and 60s -and it wasn't just drugs.

Was I supposed to be able to figure out why it was their loss?

Tell me again that homosexuality is not a mental disorder.

Allan Ginsberg was a pedo. An active supporter of NAMBLA.

Lydia said...

Camille Paglia supported NAMBLA in the 1990s. Because the ancient Greeks did it, and art, or something.
