Allen Ginsberg sings "Father Death Blues", and relates two anecdotes on death involving his guru Trungpa Rinpoche. From the documentary "A Poet on the Lower East Side".
This was on TV in the uk. About an hour later I was in bed and there was a banging on the door. It was the cops. they'd come to ask me to phone home as my father had died
Not a terse comment - You will live (and) will you die. Or isn't really and option and thus we thank death. It is really the only way to be at peace with a finite celebration. - notes from a pilgrim in progress.
i sing this to my children every night before they sleep
Thats terrifying

@@vincentvancraigand lovely at the same time. Allen would be proud. 😊
I was so lucky to hear him sing for 2 hours in Stavanger around 1994-95 playing this instrument. he was truly amazing.
"You will live, or you will die. Both are good."

Piękna piosenka
This was taken from a BBC documentary can anyone tell me if it was an Arena documentary as i remember watching it back in the 80's.
It was on an arts prog after Newsnight .
his one song! : )
It's a harmonium - kind of like an autoharp
Not really. An autoharp is a stringed instrument
A filmet Gazdag Gyula rendezte. Azt örökítette meg, amikor Eörsi István (maga is költő, drámaíró, Ginsberg magyar fordítója) felkereste Ginsberget.
what instrument???
LSD must be 1 hell of a drug.
The drug is reality. The LSD is the conjurer.
A travesty he didnt get the Nobel. And an imposter did.
