Wasn’t Michael “Savage” one of his pals or protégés at one time?
That was Ginsberg.
Yes, Savage tried to ingratiate himself into the beat scene back in the day and knew Ferlinghetti. He had a falling out with that scene and he has trashed Ferlinghetti many times on the radio show. Ginsberg as well.
Yes . He posted a photo today of the both them in the early 70’s in Hawaii today .
