[lbo-talk] Re: Podhoretz on Ginsberg

[Chuck Grimes]

I envy Ginsberg's ability to continue driving some conservatives
bugfuck.  ... and Allen Ginsberg (calling him something like
"De-generisberg"), the grand corruptor of contemporary poetry.

The worst minds of his generation -- starving, hysterical. -- Shane

Yes, funny as hell how Ginsberg knew exactly how to drill them up the
ass, driving them into spasmotic convulsions of pure ecstasy which
they of course mistook for revulsion, hate, and pain...  Oh,
don't. Stop. Don't stop, don't stop...

As Rilke asked, who would have guessed happiness was a descent?
