First recording of "Howl" read by Allen Ginsberg, 1956





 Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. 

I see all this potential, and I see squandering. 
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. 

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. 

We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. 

We have no Great War. 
No Great Depression. 

Our Great War's a spiritual war... 
Our Great Depression is our lives.
