Allen Ginsberg was apparently a really creepy dude...which now colors my listening of GD.
I think the word is paedophile and I have been campaigning for a Ginsberg boycott on here for years.

Ironically, the song is better without his contributions.

Damn straight his vocal adds zilcho to what is a decent tune otherwise. My current CR project I've managed at least to mix him much lower.

I just read this ''He was exceptionally aggressive about his right to fuck children and his constant pursuit of underage boys''.

How I would love ''Ghetto Defendant'' more now without his input.

I take it that these were revelations about his evil ways long after the fact.

He was actually quite upfront about it.

So are you saying The Clash would've known about this prior to his voice over and live appearances?
I knew about his attitude to sexual repression/gay rights etc. However I knew nothing about his support of NAMBLA. Free speech is one thing paedohilia something else altogether.

Relistened to side two yesterday and I'll stand by Death Is a Star being "not so bad." One of Joe's worst vocals, but at least the instrumentation is largely organic. So musically it holds up way better than OBF or Beautiful People.

Also Gary Barnacle is all over this record. I like his contributions.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
