Not keen on Giorno, personally, but wondering.<br /><br />Perhaps it is worth pointing out that the Burroughs material on this record was recorded in 1974 and 75. These performances were the first instances, if I am not mistaken, where American audiences could listen to WSB read from his works. (After several years in London WSB had moved to NYC in 1974.) . Ginsberg had talked WSB into giving public readings, not the least as a source of income. As the pieces contained here indeed are among his greatest hits, WSB went to on read many of these "routines" for the next 10-15 years, which is why they seem so familiar to us now.<br /><br />Thanks for posting all the Giorno Poetry Systems releases! In the mid-1980s my bleak, bleak, BLEAK hometown (Hannover, Lower Saxony) had, to everybody's surprise, a record store with a huge import section. I recall sweating over many of GPS LPs, really struggling not to spend big deutsch marks on rather expensive records of poetry, most of which I would not have been able to understand at that point.albrecht koschnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499910614283064820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-88185245958691965492020-02-14T17:31:47.133+01:002020-02-14T17:31:47.133+01:00Jonny

But hey, these pants are really cozy..." And the comparison to Dr. Feelgood.
