Bono in new Allen Ginsberg movie
Jerry Aronson’s documentary The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg is being released on a deluxe 2 DVD set to educational institutions. Included in the film are interviews with Joan Baez, Timothy Leary, William S. Burroughs, Paul McCartney, Hunter S. Thompson and yes…our own Bono just to name a few.
U2 has had some fun with Ginsberg. Many will remember the memorable reading of U2’s “Miami” atop a building in New York City on February 12, 1997 by Ginsberg which made it into their Pop coverage on MTV. (This is not in the film, I’m told.)
The DVD is available to colleges, universities, public libraries and high schools at the moment.
