Music reviews of Die on Me
Music Review: gregory
Rating: 5 Stars
i got out of a cab one day in the '80's & spotted him. shouted a greeting & he stopped, friendly, "hello", waved & smiled & ambled up the street. i knew giorno & ginsberg & burroughs & alot of their friends. working with them as a teen was mind-blowing but i kept my head. but gregory was elusive. notoriously banned (at that time) from naropa, he exasperated anne, "ginsie" & trungpa & all. ginsberg, giorno & burroughs were friends but gregory was exiled for a bit. i saw him once again before he died. i thought he was a mean drunk. but by then, so was i. hearing these recordings brings back an era for me that i never really had but wished i did. i contented myself at the time with reading his standards. the first thing i got my hands on, in high school, was gasoline & i ripped through it or it ripped through me. then, everything else in print. i never heard him read his work at a proper reading. just one drunken memory of him muttering lines somewhere for our amusement (who was i with?). only that and the bright greeting on the street (w.4th & 6th ave.). the recordings on this cd entertain, perplex, are forthright & honest & are elusive & confused just like the man. the recollection/disagreement with ginsberg is emblematic of the man & his elusive legend. & at the end of the day, he was a poet. & an excellent one. alot of that comes through here. give it a listen. it'll be worth the raw, weird ride.
