True or False? Between early 1980 and late 1982 Allen Ginsberg was Liberace's "Daddy." They were often seen together at a Members Only club in Las Vegas. After the couple had consumed enough "Pink Ladies" the "poet" could sometimes be persuaded to sing his favorite song, "Franky & Johnny Were Lovers" accompanied by Liberace on piano, after which Liberace would sing "Macho Man" accompanied by Ginsberg strumming a badly out-tune harmonium. These Special Performances always drew a large audience and would often include celebrities such as J. ("Jane") Edgar Hoover. After the show a smashed Ginsberg would occasionally give a lecture on "The Buddhist Way to Enlightenment" which was usually sparsely attended, even though he offered to give private instruction on Tantric Yoga in his tastefully appointed room at the YMCA to any seeker who might be interested in some "special attention." Typically, however, the only attendees at these talks were inebriated club patrons who looked like they could have been members of The Village People and who seemed to be more interested in pursuing The Path of Debauchery (which led to the always crowded Mens Room) than finding a Path to Enlightenment.
Along with giving up we cigarettes we need to give up football for a safer game for guys to have guy time as guys didn’t get away with safe guy time on the form of rock music because of chics.

Oh, did Ginsberg take a break from exploiting children in Tangiers and Mexico?
Today I switched from the 14 mg patch to the 7 mg one.
Time for another bump of Put Down Your Cigarette Rag.

I like the original version with just him and the harmonium doing a constant drone, but this one is enjoyable as well.

They didn't take her seriously enough, laughed at her and forgot about her.
Was this recorded at University of Louisville around 1992 and later released on the compilation album Omphalos?
I thought it was recorded at Twice Told Coffee House, but that's also where I bought the Omphalos cassette, so I could have those confused.
beautiful version! just pissed off my girlfriend by playing this for her! thanks for posting
