A live performance I did in 1995

[Koch Ebola]

The 90’s poetry scene in Los Angeles will never have the same impact as the original Beat scene. This audiotape is I trying badly to imitate Allen Ginsberg. I wrote about scene in a manuscript called, “Open Mike”. The 90’s were an interesting period in American culture. It was the last gasp of the spoken word and the last decade of Rock & Roll.
What was so cool about 90’s poetry was the “All is invited” Democracy. What was a bum trip were the elitists who organized these events at coffee houses and edited poet fanzines. The MC on this tape I wanted to pop him in the face. All I wanted to do was read my shit. It’s all in my unpublished book.
The sound quality is not that good but is audible. I forget who the sax player was, so my apologies to him. I use to tape most of my performances. This takes place in the City of Long Beach 1995. Enjoy.
