I liked that album. Haven't heard it in decades.

I am listening to the Phillip Glass version of Wichita Vortex Sutra while reading the Alan Ginsberg poem by the same name.



I prefer the musical version.

I respect Ginsberg's craft and talent with language but I can rarely agree with his message in full. I was going to paste the whole poem here but it such a slog. I will spare you. He laughed all the way to the bank.

It is curious. I love baroque language and linguistic play but, in music, I prefer minimalism.

And, of course, this is the next thing YouTube offered me when Phillips Glass's Wichita Vortex Sutra was done playing:

I saw him live once at a New England state fair. Good man.

I saw him once in the late 80s or early 90s with Conway Twitty and Vince Gill.
