In the late-80s, on one of Manhattan Cable's public access channels, Allen
Ginsberg was chatting about politics and culture with some other, lesser
known Beat-era artists. When the topic of Jesse Helms came up, Ginsberg
launched into a cadenced rant about how Helms was a "commie pinko weirdo"
who should be arrested at once. The other guys stared at him. Ginsberg
merely laughed to himself.
