Allen Ginsberg – Father Death Blues

Yeah cool!! and maybe you can support NAMBLA too

Very very moving, his singing isn’t bad either. He also did a very nice thing with Dylan “Vomit Express”. I esp. like the simplicity of this poem, if I would die today, I want this played at my funeral

My most favorite ever! So beautiful!

with a razzle in my pocket!

**Could sing, my bad.

Pretty amazing, he can actually sing pretty well, lol.

Allen Ginsberg is my hero. I want nothing more of life but to age as gracefully and to have lived so gently and yet so potently and fully IN LIFE. What an amazing man <3.

Easily my most favorite video that I have ever seen on Youtube. =)

I don’t know why, but this video really makes me want to grow old. He just seems so at peace with everything.

Stay up.

ENVY!!

God what a poem! So simple and speaks to the hearts of everyone.
First time I’ve seen Allen sing this was on a black and white clip where he was playing some kind of accordion.Anyone ever seen this on the net?

my heart goes out to you. may u be well.

My dad has had a cancer and about 3 months ago on tuesday in february i got back home from school and somebody told me that he went to a hospital.
in the evening my mom got back and I asked her whats happening. And she told me just theese words.”He’s gone”. It was the worst thing in my life:(:(:(:( This song is so important for me

listen to the ineffable

i know exactly how you felt just now.

Last time I met allen he sang this blues; it was in florence in the 80s at the last poetry reading in italy. I was there for an interview. He didn’t sing it on the stage but later at the hotel, unforgettable! We spent all the night in his room with him, fernanda pivano, a guitar player who accompanied him and another italian poet. That emotion will be eternal, i’m sure.

His love and soft chicken voice cackles me to sleep in my heart and mind I rest upon the fog and sail into the clouds blue sky she rests. I love and feel and I can create a new man a new life a new singular happy motion. Dear God help me. I’ve seen the light and I fly. Thank you teacher. Gaughen thank you. Your autistic children shall be okay. Here she comes I see the sun. Thank you for teachign me Hemingway. Life sun breathe fire sickness and glory!

Like a proto-Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (but so much else besides)
