We'll talk another time then, maybe Monday night or something. I've
got to do some video interview for some Occupy-related thing tomorrow
evening. Tonight I went to my bar but it turns out that it's Saturday
night and there's all this baseball stuff going on so I fled after one
drink. I'm trying to figure out what to do, exactly, in terms of
writing and my own bizarre political situation. I got a new little
moleskin notepad to jot down notes in when I'm walking or going out
for a drink; the FBI took the last one, which is kind of funny,
because that one I had for a year and it contains lots of random
stuff, some of which were ideas for short stories, and nothing is
really labeled. They're going to have some strange ideas about what
exactly I've been up to.

of people i discovered kerouac in high school and was really drawn to
him.
reading howl for me was a really memorable experience, i guess people
either
are grabbed by it or not. i was always much more into jack, although i

Anyway, you need to get into Gore Vidal. He's delightfully, charmingly
pompous and is always getting other figures upset. This is him feuding
with Norman Mailer, who stabbed his first wife and otherwise has a
sort of weird misogyny going on in general. On this occasion Mailer
gets very upset and embarrassed and it gets worse as he says pompous
things that aren't charming:

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:
