Hey!

December 21, 2008

Here is a fun interview between Allen Ginsberg, arguably one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, and some guy named John Lofton, who feels the need to attack Ginsberg frequently throughout the interview.  Perhaps it is my own ignorance, but I can make no statement about John Lofton that takes the form “one of the greatest (X) of the twentieth century,” so I find slight irony in his relentless attacks of Ginsberg.

Oh hey, so I just put “John Lofton” into wikipedia, so that I would find out if he was actually really famous and I would feel like a complete ass for my above statements.  Whoops!  Wikipedia doesn’t know any John Lofton either!  Oh snap, crackle, AND pop.

  1. So, you have to be “really famous” to be right? No. Your reasoning is incoherent — making you a perfect Ginsberg fan.
