Another rare video treasure. We’ve mentioned it before – but thought we would spotlight once again this weekend Allen Ginsberg’s 1993 Berlin concert collaboration with legendary New York klezmer band, The Klezmatics
The Klezmatics accompany Allen on five songs:
“Everybody Sing” – (“Everybody’s just a little bit homosexual whether they like it or not.,”) – “Fifth Internationale” – (“Arise ye prisoners of your mind-set”) – Sickness Blues – (” I got the sickness blues, I must’ve done something wrong..”) – CIA Dope Calypso – (“Now Richard Secord and Oliver North….”) and “Research” – (“Research has shown….”)
