words on the march

“WBAI program director Bernard White fears that the FCC will fine the station $325,000 for every one of Ginsberg’s dirty-word bombs. If each Pacifica station that aired the poem - and possibly repeated it - were to be fined for airing “Howl,” it could mean millions of dollars in fines.”

Anywho…it will be posted on http://www.pacifica.org/.

And has anybody seen the tv ads for some “country” radio station with lots of San Francisco “locals” attesting their love for the station. My personal favorite is the lady “reading” Howl in front of City Lights simultaneously decrying her love for Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith. Apologies for the “quotes”.
