Still howling at 50

Allen Ginsberg’s epic and groundbreaking poem Howl turns 50 today.

And it still holds true to this day, maybe more then ever.

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night”

Yeah, go man, go.
