Called a 'venerated bard of resistance', Ginsberg ambitiously sought 'to know the working of the mind' through poetry. This collection of fun ditties spouts against capitalism, among other things, and is an amusing and enjoyable listen; Ginsberg accompanies himself with a small hand-pumped harmonium from India, occasionally adding his own guttural rhythms reminiscent of Dadaist sound-poetry (in the cases of "Put Down Your Cigarette Rag" and "Prayer Blues"), while other songs, such as "Bus Ride Ballad Road to Suva", echo folk ballads from yesteryear. Ginsberg prefaced each song himself with liner notes including an introduction to the lyrics.
