Notice Rose mentions that Howl and Other Poems was confiscated by customs and that Ginsberg was tried on obscenity charges [along with the publisher and the book seller], but he does not mention that all were exonerated due to the judgement of the court that the book had "redeeming social value." This type of deliberate half-reporting causes much of the misunderstanding between the citizens of the world today. It is either deliberate or careless. Which is worse?

Yeah, this video needs to be fixed. It'd be a pleasure if the other interviews with the late, great Allen Ginsberg could be uploaded too!

1 minute and 28 seconds? What kind of a remembrance is that? Looks more like a gratuitous invitation to forget. And wouldn't corporate and media power like that where Allen Ginsberg is concerned. What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?
