Met him [Allen Ginsburg] once at the junior college I was attending. Part of an English department poetry reading that I had to critique for a Lit. Class.

So did you really let him have it, or did you say nice things in your critique?

in 1969 or thereabouts at age 20, I just thought he was a goofball...it was all just funny to me....I don’t remember what I wrote in the critique.

did not have the political/social acumen I achieved through age and experience.
