HOWL

HOWL was a poem by Allen Ginsberg. At the time that it was released, it was considered incredibly obscene by the public. This is something that at the time, 1955, was fairly common in all forms of art or entertainment. When I listen to it today, it is hard for me to see how it was considered obscene. Yes there is some vulgar things in it, but this is all things that can be heard in music today or seen on movies and TV. It is just about impossible to find something that is obscene to me. I have seen dead bodies with their head blow off from rifles, so hearing a guy say cock and balls is nothing.
