Really the Blues

[dorje]

“To all the hipsters, hustlers and fly cats tipping along the Stroll. [Keep scuffling]
To all the cons in all the houses of many slammers, wrastling with chinches. [Short time, boys.]
To all the junkies and lushheads in two-bit scratchpads, and the flophouse grads in morgue iceboxes. >[R.I.P.] To the sweettalkers, the gumbeaters, the highjivers, out of the gallion for good and never going to take it low again. [You got to make it, daddy.]
Excerpted from Really the Blues by Mezz Mezzrow, opium head and tea magician,RIP.

Im going to have to look this up and read the whole thing. Very cool. You should check out Howl by Ginsberg, if you have not already. It will be right up you alley.

I really dug this, thanks for sharing.

Thanks antigone. Yeah I knew Ginzberg on the Lower East Side in New York. My ex and Peter Orlowsky liked speed and had the same connect. Later, I met Allen up at Millbrook, the Tim Learey estate. Howl is copacetic " I saw the best minds of my generation... looking for an angry fix."
