HOWL AGAINST CENSORSHIP
Wednesday, October 3, 2007
Fifty years ago, on October 3, Judge Clayton Horn ruled that Allen Ginsberg's great epic poem HOWL was a work of literary and social merit and not obscene, freeing its publication from censorship and its publisher, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, from jail. Fifty years later, with draconian FCC fines for language infractions, you still can't hear HOWL on the radio. That's something to howl about.
This October 3, WBAI and Pacifica invite you to join us on the internet where you can hear Allen Ginsberg read the unadulterated HOWL and our commemoration of the HOWL verdict (and its relevance to language censorship in broadcast media today) with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet Bob Holman of the Bowery Poetry Club, first amendment lawyer Ron Collins, Beat Generation scholar and filmmaker Regina Weinreich, WBAI's Program Director Bernard White and WBAI Arts Director Janet Coleman. In the memory of the great language liberator, Allen Ginsberg, let's HOWL against censorship.
tech notes: made public this afternoon (noon eastern time), this special quickly (within 15 minutes) broke Google News' Top 5 while searching 'censorship' - and I expect it to reach #1 and stay close to there for a few hours, perhaps a few days. I'm always glad to see Pacifica's content listed up there in relevant searches (like censorship), with other sites like UK Guardian, Huffington Post, and ahead of right wingers like frontpage mag and others..
enjoy!..
