Born (1926) and raised in New Jersey, Ginsberg took inspiration from Walt Whitman and saw himself as a descendant of Whitman's American individualism. ("I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel," he vowed in another early classic, "America.") A trickster who incorporated poetry, blues and Buddhism in his performances, Ginsberg helped invent the '60s concept of "happenings." As an outgrowth of this persona, Ginsberg recorded frequently, offering not only the belated release of First Blues in 1983, but also an album of William Blake poems set to music (Songs of Innocence and Experience) and a stack of spoken word discs, including Allen Ginsberg Reads Kaddish: A 20th Century American Ecstatic Narrative Poem for Atlantic and The Lion for Real on Great Jones. (On the latter, producer Hal Willner matched Ginsberg with such jazz musicians as Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot. Willner later compiled the ultimate Ginsberg aural document, Rhino's four-CD Holy Soul Jelly Roll.)

Ginsberg's last years featured more musical collaborations. He teamed with composer Philip Glass for the album Hydrogen Jukebox and a theatrical production of "Wichita Vortex Sutra." (A 1994 recording of the latter was issued on Artemis in late 2004.) He and Glass also collaborated with Paul McCartney on the anti-war "Dance of the Skeletons." Although he died in 1997, Ginsberg's commitment, playfulness and deep seriousness live on. - Jaan Uhelszki]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6488792&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Poetry/Poetry Slam Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:25:23 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6488792 art.6488792 Joe West art.6488792 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6488792&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6488792&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12942549&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Lecture Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:12 -0800 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.12942549 art.12942549 Radio Moscow art.12942549 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12942549&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12942549&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.64972&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Lecture Wed, 1 Apr 2009 22:17:48 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.64972 art.64972 David Timson art.64972 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.64972&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.64972&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1234&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Poetry/Poetry Slam Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:51:49 -0800 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1234 art.1234 The Last Poets art.1234 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1234&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1234&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6774629&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Lecture Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:48:35 -0800 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6774629 art.6774629 Walter Klien art.6774629 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6774629&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6774629&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69091&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Soundtracks Fri, 29 May 2009 09:33:53 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.69091 art.69091 Quentin Tarantino art.69091 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69091&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69091&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4824&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Poetry/Poetry Slam Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:00 -0800 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4824 art.4824 William S.

His influence can be felt myriad places -- when one listens to Lou Reed's dark, image-laden lyrics in the song "Heroin," or to Al Jorgensen's nihilistic vitriol on The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Performance artist Laurie Anderson often references his writings, and Gus Van Zant's casting choice of Burroughs as Tom the priest in Drugstore Cowboy was nothing short of inspired. Always restless in his creativity, Burroughs also dove into the world of modern art, proving himself to be quite handy with a shotgun and paint pellets. He died in 1997, miraculously making it to the ripe old age of eighty-three. - Will Lerner]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.51529&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Poetry/Poetry Slam Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:34:18 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.51529 art.51529 Carl Hancock Rux art.51529 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.51529&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.51529&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21418108&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Spoken Word Fri, 29 May 2009 09:34:04 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.21418108 art.21418108 Zig Ziglar art.21418108 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21418108&variant=play&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.21418108&variant=data&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3490&rws=%2Fcomedy-spoken-word%2Fspoken-word%2Fartist-chart.rss Lecture Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:21:28 -0700 Top Spoken Word Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3490 art.3490 Harry S.

ultra-sedated jazz rhythm section. Originating with the '50s beatnik scene and weaving its way through more recent collaborations with Tom Waits and the Grateful Dead, Nordine's long career has also involved extensive voice-over, commercial, and radio work. So even those who haven't heard the records are likely to recognize The Voice; if not, well, you don't have to do all of those silly lounge revival things like stirring up a martini, just listen. - Will York]]>
