amazed at how well Ginsberg foreshadows the 60's in "Howl". This was written in what '56?

Especially with the religious and spiritual aspects. He does embellish it a bit though...

...I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but assholes don't strike me as particularly holy! Holey, but not holy...

and when he goes, "Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!", it reminded me of Austin Powers with the whole mole tangent...

especially when you listen to Ginsberg reciting it on the YouTube recording.

Yeah, I think the foreshadowing is interesting...although I didn't like the content of the poem so much, there are intriguing aspects of it.

Such as the foreshadowing and how we are not as phased by the language as some may have been before.
