While waiting for the CD I have been listening to some of the examples of his speeches on the net. Very interesting; lacking the usual tone and stridency of many of the contemporaries.Off topic but Gregory Corso passed away last week. A true primer for the beats and a great street poet.
That got me thinking about the beat influence on culture and how the rennaissance is due.
"There is no tell throughout,
The ages,
That a messenger-spirit,
Ever stumbled into darkness."
Gregory Corso
