| Artaud, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Tuli Kupferberg, Harry Smith, Cage and Maldoror |
It’s all there on You Tube! I spent a good two hours yesterday exploring the You Tube site and found such goodies as the complete “Passion of John of Arc” which features Artaud as one of the monks. I also found “Pull My Daisy” with the whole Beat Gang, a video of Neal Cassady driving the Merry Prankster Further! Bus as he talks on and on in a high twangy voice I never imagined he had, two brilliant realizations of excerpts from Maldoror–especially the “I Have Made a Pact with Prostitution” film,–and Tuli Kupferberg reading/chanting poetry in scruffy cap and bath robe! Then there are the pulsing abstractions of Harry Smith, folklorist and experimental film maker that blew me away. It’s all there, folks. Hopefully Dan will put up some links to the videos/films I’ve just mentioned here. When the Google crew paid those billions for the rights to You Tube they knew what they were doing.
