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

    Greg, there is nothing to "get" try his THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY of DEATH
    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.
