"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked"
Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of the court decision that said that Alan Ginsberg's great poem Howl was not obscene. However now that we are in 1984 2007 the entire broadcasting world is so frightened of the Holy and Christian yet perverted and sexually repressed toss pots at the Federal Communications Commission that WBAI-FM in New York was afraid to air a recitation of the work for fear of bankruptcy should the FCC not agree with the court decision and find the station huge amounts because it uses some naughty, naughty words that no one in Amerika had ever heard before nor have they been heard since.
I have a few choice words for the members of the FCC. You are a bunch of motherfucking, cocksucking, shit-slimed, censorous, small minded, needle dicked wankers! How do you like that? That is fucking obscene OK? The bloody poem is not.
You can read the poem here.
