Re: new subject already dang

Was never a fan of their work relative to other things I could read.
As in, reading "Howl" didn't make me more inclined to read other
Ginsburg poetry and reading the first twenty pages of Dharma Bums
didn't inspire me to actually finish it, as there were other things I
was more interested in. I understand that they introduced some things
that were of value, partially in terms of sensibilities that couldn't
be expressed legally or by convention. And their own exploits are
interesting enough to me that I've read about it, mostly centering on
William Burroughs. I think highly of Junkie, especially because
Burroughs was being commissioned to write what was essentially
supposed to be some exploitation paperback and he ended up
transcending the medium to create something that was actually
worthwhile and interesting. But things like Naked Lunch, which I
actually bought and read a long time ago, I just don't see as
something that anyone should feel compelled to read; there are a lot
of conventions being broken and that's all well and good, but the fact
is that someone who is very, very high on opiates - and Burroughs was
taking this ridiculous German opiate which is much more powerful than
heroin - can write down any nonsense and be satisfied with it, but
unless the book comes sold with that same powerful opiate so that the
reader can also be satisfied with whatever pseudo-random bullshit the
author wrote, it's just kind of a cruel thing to throw out to the
public. The film that was made out of it was actually very worthwhile,
and if you haven't seen it, you should; we can watch it when you come
down. It has Ginsburg and Kerouac, plus certain of the dynamics
between all of them, in slightly disguised forms.

Anyway, politically, I respect Ginsburg as a strong advocate for
acceptance of sexuality beyond the heterosexual norm at a time when
being such an advocate was obviously more difficult than it is now.
But I find him personally irritating. And Burroughs is a very
interesting person, but if you ever see a clip of him giving his talks
to universities as he did for quite a while as a means of making a
living before he gained his eventual cult status (and did a Nike
commercial, lol), he just throws out a lot of commonplaces about how
nuclear war is bad and how Americans are hypocritical and stupid -
things that are true but which don't take any real genius to figure
out and re-phrase.

In conclusion, I have a hard time answering questions in less than two
paragraphs.

Here's Ginsburg appearing on William Buckley:

I didn't go to the concert, just went to a bar with them before they
went, it was an old friend of mine plus this really mediocre boring
couple that he must know from somewhere and I couldn't bear to go out
to some stadium and listen to the Flaming Lips and all that. Plus I'm
all worked up over some of the intricacies of the cyberwar story
that's now floating around, so I just went to my usual bar, had my
little social time with a couple of people I know there, and came home
to meet up with another friend who's going to come by with whom I
usually smoke weed and discuss certain issues.

figured I should go do something like that, because it's not
