Allen Ginsberg & Julian Beck on Reagan, Recordings & Resilience by Blank on Blank published on 2012-06-22T06:23:53Z "It’s what Abby Hoffman said years ago: we have a right to shout “theater" at a crowded fire." ~ Beat poet Allen Ginsberg We’re listening to a rare recording from the summer of 1984. Only a few people have ever gotten to hear it. It was actually found in a box in New York City just a few years ago. The tape is an intimate audio glimpse inside a decades old friendship that cancer will soon cut short. The friendship between poet Allen Ginsberg and theater founder Julian Beck.
