Ginsberg still manages to push the envelope of acceptability. He produces a clipping from a recent New York Times profile. The first paragraph recounts how a few years ago he had a moment of self-awareness - like "a light bulb went on in my head" - in which he forgave his longtime enemy, conservative commentator Norman Podhoretz. It was a catchy opening, but Ginsberg says it was all wrong. "'A light went on in my head'? It was an insight I got when I was high on [the drug] ecstasy," he explains. "The point is that you can get permanent, usable insights from psychedelics - but the Times took that out." Even at 70, it seems, Allen Ginsberg is saying things that aren't fit to print.
