Looks like a great interview of Allen Ginsberg...It looks like it was done circa 2001.
I met Ginsberg at a U. of the South reading & concert, in Sewanee, TN,
in 1982. I also saw him a couple of other times elsewhere. Mr. Ginsberg was a very gracious and accomodating fella for someone so famous. He didn't mind discussing things with fans... He read his "Plutonium Ode" & sung some of his songs with a sgueezebox and had a college student on guitar playing with him. Ginsberg had a good tuneful voice as well.
One of the songs was called: "Don't Smoke the Established Dope", an anti-tobacco song, which suprised the heck out of some people.
I still have a tape of it somewhere in a packing box in storage. I also made a couple of copies of it. The tape hasn't been mixed, so it sounds kind of scratchy, I've been told.
