  • 8 Western Carolinian October 20, 1994 Editorial The Smoking Section (More Idiotic and Moronic Social Commentary by Williams) The Beat Generation As So Much Expensive Cappuccino (Allen Ginsberg Live at Lipinsky Auditorium, UNCA, Oct. 13th, 1994) It was raining when Chris (my roommate) and I arrived at UNCA for the 7:00 reading by one of America's greatest poetic voices, Allen Ginsberg. Parking wasn't a problem and we managed to spend our time waiting for the reading to begin by playing "Spot the Stereotypes," wherein we watched for people sporting "The Granola-Grunge Look" or the "The Squeaky-Clean Intellectual Look," you get the idea. We were lucky to have tickets for this sanitized exercise in decadence because it was sold out by the time we got there. We ran into an old friend of ours, Michael Redman, who was dressed in black clothes and serious artistic demeanor. He said that he felt he was going places since he was making the jump to UNCA come spring semester and had a nice groovy apartment right up above the Green Door Gallery on Carolina Lane, which is the happening place for Poetry Slams. He then introduced us to his friend Karen who sported the typical sundress, nose-ring, and nasty disposition. After leaving Michael and his trendy companion we ventured into the lobby of Lipinsky where a smoke-free environment awaited us. There was a nice little table with all of Ginsberg's books of poetry for sale ($20 and you could take home a hardbound copy of his latest collection of poetic musings) at the center of the lobby while artsy-fartsy types of all races, sexual preferences, and genders made small talk, waiting for the reading to begin, and thinking how fortunate they were to be apart of such a "happening." Following five more minutes of Social Anthropology, our friend Thomas Crowe walked up to us, and told us that the reception which was to be held at Zone 1 Gallery and which we were supposedly invited to after the reading, had turned into a $50-a-head benefit but, hey, maybe we could meet him after the reading. Yeah, right. Ever tried to have a conversation with someone you admire along with one hundred other creeps vying for attention and trying to push you out of the way ? It's total "bullshit," not exactly a fun way to spend an evening. So, with bad news and bad attitudes, we filed into Lipinsky and waited. And waited. And waited. After thirty minutes of watching people doped up on Aesthetics, a short gray-haired man stepped up on stage and, after making a few announcements, reported that Ginsberg would be on in five minutes. The crowd groaned and went back to talking. Shortly after, the same short gray-haired man came back up on stage, and, after a rambling introduction, Ginsberg appeared, all dressed in white, walked over to his chair in the middle of the stage, sat down, and grabbed his little portable harmonium and proceeded to blow minds. He sang "Do The Meditation Rock" as well as a nice little tune about Senate candidate (and Iran-Contra guy) Oliver North, his voice a constant monotone, two chord maximum harmonium drone, the crowd jamming on it because it was the "in" thing to do. As opposed to going in to "Jukebox Mode" and spewing out "Howl" and "Kaddish," Ginsberg offered (for the people who were hip to his name but not with his poetry) a comprehensive and chronological tour through his literary career, starting with "Sunflower Sutra" (from "Howl and Other Poems," 1956) and ending up with material from "Cosmopolitan News," his latest collection of poetry spanning 1988-1992. The author of this piece is thankful to Ginsberg for reading a four-lined one-verse poem from "The Fall Of America" called "Kiss Ass" because it seemed that there was a lot of ass-kissing going on at Lipinsky from these Posers. Since Ginsberg has long been a leader of gay rights, it only made sense that he addressed the gay audience, and he did, but it appeared that too many of them were so self- conscious that they couldn't enjoy the message and self-evasive satire in Ginsberg's verse. People shifted nervously in their chairs as Ginsberg worked the crowd with all of the ease and precision of a Lion-Tamer (he's not called "The Lion of Dharma" for nothing). Ginsberg proved why there are so many talentless gay writers on the scene these days: because, by choosing to write about nothing but their sexual preference and why it's so special, they've neglected to tell us how it relates to them on other levels such as poli tics, nature, and, in the case of Ginsberg's "Father Death Blues" and "Kaddish" (both written about the deaths of his father and mother, respectively), the loss of loved ones. Ginsberg has his strictly gay poems, too, such as "Please Master" and "Contest of Bards," but he also reaches out for heterosexual acceptance and understanding as in "White Shroud" and "Because I Love Old Whitman So !" He has never truly alienated or limited his audiences and this, in the long run, has been one of his saving graces and keys to his artistic longevity. In the end it boiled down to a Countercultural hero / Political Activist being misunderstood by the very people he supposedly represents. Oh well it served them right. They should have actually taken the time to read his poetry as opposed to being enthralled by his image" or the mere thought of being in the presence of a "celebrity." In the end, that's where Allen Ginsberg's true essence can be found: in his poetry his books, his countless letters to his friends, and in his spoken-word recordings. c>-<Jiu Which makes me wonder- How come LMP can't rope in such briliant minds as Ginsberg and Kurt Vonnegut ?

I am a Christian, not in the sense that I do everything right, or that I run around preaching hellfire and damnation, but in that I am desperately in love with Jesus Christ. I need him. That's what makes me a Christian. I'm really no different than anyone else. Certainly no better. I have the same fears, the same hopes and dreams, and the same weaknesses that everyone has.I sin just as much as anyone. But Christianity isn't about Christians. It's about Jesus Christ. We are the living representation of Jesus — his ambassadors. Before we move to defend ourselves from anti-Christian sentiments, we need to ask ourselves if we truly represent Jesus as he is. Does the world see Jesus in us, or do they see a bunch of hypocritical, intolerant, holier-than-thou fools who can't stand to have their religion jostled by unbelief and doubt. That's not the Jesus I know. Even when he was on trial, the cruelest injustice in the history of the world, he never defended himself—"as a sheep before its shearers is silent, he did not openn* mouth" (Isaiah 53). He doesn't need us to defend him; our job as Christians >s| represent him, to shine the light of"1 love in the midst of this dark world. want to apologize, both to my brother and, sisters in Christ, and to those who have been insulted by Christian bigo^ I don't represent Jesus as I should, an breaks my heart.
