I never got Corso. I tried reading Gasoline, and just couldn't grasp it. I think he's too deep for me.

vere "catholic"


there is/was much more to Gregory than his "public" posturing...met him a couple of times brief encounters once he was drunk. once he was stoned..

a very complex "dude" a technician about the best of the "Beats" (my opinion)

try his AN ACCIDENTAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY w Patti Smith forward

was in several different mags along w

Greg, I'll be checking out Ed's recommendations, too - I have Gasoline and a couple of other volumes -

Ed, thanks for the heads up on Corso - I think your jpeg file didn't come through.
