Dan Nielsen with Five Minutes

Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group, but it is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process.”

Featuring the writing on my dear friend, Jack Albert. I'm hoping Jack gets around the writing a memoir about his years (mid to late 70s) in the East Village. I visited him there a couple times. One night I tagged along to Ginsberg's apartment where we smoked Jack's weed and Allen played Blake on harmonium. Another time we saw John Cale at CBGB. Thanks for those memories, Jack.    

Includes Steve Richmond's reading of "writing" by Charles Bukowski~~~
