He said that "Alan Ginsberg" told him that once. Alan Ginsberg might be a "Real Estate" salesman from Yonkers, NY, or a janitor from Dubuque, IA (not that there's anything wrong with that). Allen Ginsberg was a poet (like him or not).
Who knows if it's a simple matter of a mis-spelling (sic) or perhaps the unread fine print.
Maybe it was Allyn Ginzburgh?
"
then he'd disappear
quietly into the woods
and send sparrows skyward
unzipping his soul
with a .357"
Excerpt from Justin Hyde's 'right before the ass-crack of 2am'
I looked up Alan Ginsberg in the PA white pages and got 6 hits to exact spelling. Many more with off spellings or initials. I guess I'll be on the phone for a while longer, mjp(;)) Thanks PS.
