Poet Allen Ginsberg first read out these lines from his poem ‘Howl’ at a reading at the Six Gallery in December 1955. The reading was an immediate success and nearly 65 years on, the lines still resonate and the influence of Ginsberg, then 29, still continues on literature, social movements, popular culture and politics. Although the Right Wingers across the globe staunchly believe and try to set the seal on the fact that 50 years after ‘The Summer of Love’, Hippie counterculture is relegated to kitsch.
