CSOTD Bonus Edition: Allen Ginsberg - Howl (NSFW)

No, not a song, but a revolution.

Fifty-five years ago, on October 7, 1955, at the Six Gallery on Fillmore Street, San Francisco, a room measuring 20 x 25 feet with a dirt floor, Allen Ginsberg read his poem "Howl" for the first time. To about 150 to 200 people.

And the world changed. Forever.

As noted, this is NSFW. It's just a warning, here be strong liquor.

If we are still cautious in 2010, you can only imagine it's impact in 1955.

Enjoy.
