Beat humour and poetics... Lennie Bruce...Lawrence Ferlinghetti...Gregory Corso...












It was my birthday yesterday so here's some beat generation fun and games. Three from Lennie Bruce including the hilarious and still controversial 'How to relax your coloured friends at parties.' Plus a couple of poets – Lawrence Ferlinghetti who was somewhat overshadowed by Ginsberg and the second poet here – Gregory Corso.

Thanks for Lennie. I've been going back in time recently and just finished listening to some Lord Buckley. This was a pleasant find.

Well - let's have some more - I posted some Buckley a while back - encore for Marc Anthony - and some more Lenny...
