Hello, hello and welcome to let me bore you to sleep. My name is Jason Newland and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I'm actually recording this at 5 past 8 in the morning on Monday the 18th of May 2026.

It's a little bit like the captain's log isn't it from Star Trek. It's basically my it's just like a diary isn't it really it's very um very self-absorbed of me. Oh well.

So just to let you know you can listen to my recordings on YouTube, Instagram, X and TikTok as well as my website jasonnewland.com. Also you can download my recordings for free at jasonnewland.store. You may have thought that one has disappeared but it's still running. I just uh I was gonna try and I was gonna cancel it because it's like £40 a month to keep it going but I just it's hard to let that one go because I've got so much of my stuff on there all stored. It's an archive of my recordings there's thousands of recordings on there and I feel a little bit sad to let that one go if I'm honest.

So that's still running. I'm also I've got a Facebook group oh yeah Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group. So in six hours time I should be sitting in the dentist chair and hopefully my little dentist she is very little um will be sorting my mouth out and prescribing me medication to clear up the infection.

And then I will say thank you very much. I will go next door and collect that prescription because it's a not like no it's just yeah isn't it no it's not. Now I think what I'll do is I'll because I've got to collect my other prescription as well haven't I oh yeah so what I'll do is I'll get a taxi back and I'll get my prescription from the pharmacy that I normally go to and they get that prescription as well.

Come on yeah they should have it maybe I won't maybe I'll go into the town I'll go into the town one up the road because you never know not all pharmacies have the prescription do they that just be my luck I'm turning negative aren't I. Now I'll take a chance take a chance because if it's not in then I'll just go to a different pharmacy and so there I'll do that and I'll come home I'll do some more peel popping and hopefully fingers crossed toes crossed legs crossed arms crossed ears crossed the pain will start to reduce freedom freedom oh six this is a sixth day now and I've been counting the hours literally counting the hours down to my two o'clock appointment just to get it done and I mean maybe I do have a socket or whatever they call it and I think it's going to clean it up I don't know I've never had this before and then my gums still hurts whereas you put the injection in that that doesn't seem right does it but I did a bit of research and apparently they inject really deep like oh there's a wisdom tooth like okay so that's what I'm going to do today that's my main plan have that done however weird it might seem I don't want her to anesthetize my gum to take the pain away if it means having another painful injection because if I'm going to have to add that you know like when that wears off it's going to be even more painful isn't it so I'd rather just leave it as it is get it cleaned off or just just give me the pain just give me the medication that the penicillin or whatever it is antibiotics and then it's really weird right the pharmacist where I live well not near it's it's the closest one to where I live he can prescribe antibiotics so pharmacists now have got a bit more power than they used to have they can even do it a fair amount of diagnosis to you know a little bit not not like proper but they can prescribe uh penicillin or you know antibiotics or whatever is there a difference between them two I don't know and he prescribed my friend when Luke had an abscess on his leg I mean his leg was absolutely and he I managed and he wouldn't leave the house and I managed to get him in a taxi got him to the pharmacist and the pharmacist said it's not a good time Luke seeing that he knows him we knew him he said I'm doing Covid jabs and Luke said we'll have a look at this then and he pulled his I think he pulled his pants down well not not his whole but just to showed it showed him the leg and the pharmacist said okay everyone out of the shop so he didn't look but he said okay come through and he took him into his room and um he he I think he might have put a dressing on it I can't remember but I know I paid for some dressing um and some cream antibiotic cream or something and also some tablets and it did the trick but he's he was that was wrong for months that leg so luckily it kind of it was infected from something I don't know what and ironically it only healed up about two weeks before he left so it's not irony I suppose is it but I remember him coming up to me because I the two weeks leading up to him leaving forever I tried to stop my door from slamming because I don't like my door slamming and I put my heel against the door like I normally do but for some reason the heel was I think I had my uh crocs on or something and the door slammed against my heel and I don't I think I cracked something but I really damaged my heel quite a lot and I couldn't hardly walk for two weeks well for a few weeks but it was really oh the thing is here's weird though because it hurt and then let's carry on with day and then the next day I'm like it was like a delayed reaction like why why am I why is my heel hurting I couldn't even remember why and then like oh yeah how do you know would you forget something like that so I remember I'm sitting over there I got my feet up and Luke's saying oh can you come to the petrol station with me uh he didn't say it like that but he said and I said no he said please I said no I can't he said go on I said no I can't look I said I was running around after you for weeks when your leg was gammy and you couldn't walk yeah now my my leg's gone or my foot's gone I can't use my foot very much at the moment so I'm not walking any distance I can't and he had to hump with me and he kept saying are you sure are you sure like yeah I'm sure I'm not I can't walk a distance because it's very painful I don't know if I broke anything but it I might crack it's definitely bruised very badly bruised and that was weird because it wasn't long before that I actually kicked the wall while I was asleep and I broke my foot and it's the same year literally in the same year right I broke two toes my foot and my heel well I don't know if I broke it but I also and then the year before that oh yeah almost oh yeah and that year also I fractured my back in two places the year before that I broke my rib the year before that I broke my hand this is all two years for it so yeah had a few little accidents along the way when I first moved in here I fell out of the bath and broke my wrist it's my left wrist so it wasn't too bad but it's like what crazy anyway I can't believe it this is supposed to be a relaxing sleep recording and he's just started talking about dentists and breaking bones not very relaxing to me if you ask me sorry sorry I should be more considerate I just find stuff like that weird it's like I seriously I woke up I had this dream right and something was chasing me this creature was chasing me and I realized that if I just turned around suddenly and kicked it the momentum of it running towards me and me kicking it would be like double the pressure and I did and I felt it crack not realizing it was not it was my my foot I'd left a big dent in the wall as well I literally cracked the door my toe was well anyway that was weird it's like now I sleep on my other side and if I do sleep on that side I make sure that my feet are tucked well into the duvet because I don't want to do that again because that was yeah that was oh blimey and there's no point going to the hospital either because it's going to say yeah I don't need like if it was obviously if it was if it needed treatment like needed to be reset or something but they can't do nothing for a foot really an ankle is different but for like a a toe when I broke my hand twice they can't they're gonna stick two fingers together like okay I can do that myself I don't you know mind you I did I've always gone to the hospital for that stuff but I'm not sure if I went to hospital for my foot I might have done it was like black and green and blue it was all kinds of weird colors a little bit like tuna has gone off you know have you ever like if you spread tuna all over your head and just walk around in the sun you know can it changes the color oh by the way I shaved my head again yep I had a big shave I thought maybe that'll get rid of the get rid of all my problems ah it's weird at one point I thought the razor on the actual razor blade was blunting in blunting in becoming blunt and I wasn't going to be able to do the whole of my head and I thought oh because there was like the middle part was out was gone but the other you know the sides were still there I thought no because that look doesn't suit me I mean no look suits me but that look that look that look really doesn't suit me and the worst of the tuna fish so so I recharged the razor and then that seemed to do the job it gave a bit more power so I went over my head three times so I like to because it's the back bits that seem to just stick around and as I can't see the back because I'm human and it's it's gonna have to do it by feel really but yeah I mean it might I can't feel any patches of hair and when I used to shave my head every day in 2004 constantly shaving my head I should do it like an actual razor razor you know proper one not a not a electric one because the electric one doesn't get so close but a proper razor it goes all the way down to the bone and it's amazing how it feels it feels so soft it's lovely this is this feels pretty much like an action man's head it's fuzzy you know it's very yeah it's right I don't mind this either but when it's really shaved like proper bald bald bald bald bald I quite like that feeling it's also quite nice to massage but the thing I'm missing though is some moisturizing cream because I used to use that and it used to smell lovely and I used to massage that into my head and my scalp and it used to smell really nice as well so that used to be the the thing I'd do even 2003 I started shaving my head but not with a proper razor just I'd shave it down to what's those razors called the ones that they're connected there I forget they're called but they're been around for years I think um barbers use them clippers that's it clippers so I had a pair of clippers and I used to shave my head every Sunday afternoon and it was during oh Superman TV show Somerville not Somerville Maltville Supermanville it's the TV show where Superman's a boy and he's got a Smallville that's it's what I was gonna say it's when he was small Smallville and it used to be on on a channel four on Sunday afternoon and I used to shave my head while that was on but it didn't take long to shave my head because the clippers are really powerful so I just and my hair never got very long because I'd do it every Sunday afternoon so I'd shave it all off and just completely you know rubbing that moisturizer oh wish I knew what it was I might I'm thinking about that you know because I used to pamper myself a little bit when I was younger that's something I would class as pampering or you know having a bath with bath salts things like that don't do any of that stuff anymore because I went through this period when it was all about trying to find ways to relax because I was going through a um but like I was just going through a hugely anxious kind of period constantly in and out of um anxiety panic attacks and stuff so I was always looking for ways to just calm myself down and here's something I used to do I used to take a handkerchief to work with oils on it like um carmine oils I'm not sure what they were one of my favorite oils like tea tree I've I've used over the past for like dimples and stuff I don't get dimples really anymore but um I used to use that for that what's that thing the that Jesus got um oh I never knew what it was not myrrh not gold frankincense so I didn't know what frankincense was when I was at school you'd hear like gold myrrh frank I still don't know what myrrh is it's not bad though I'm 55 I've learned two of the three considering I started learning about it when I was about two years old and I lived with nuns as well had a church in the garden you think I'd actually honestly we'd pray twice a day you'd think I'd know a little bit about um the gifts that the wise men delivered but anyway gold frankincense and myrrh I could just search it but I'm not I'm going to want to find out how organically someone will tell me someone will come on someone tell me what myrrh is tell me on Facebook or YouTube if you want and I was a little bit I don't want to say dismissive when I found out that myrrh that frankincense was just an incense I thought that's a bit of a crappy gift I mean you can get that from like a shop for a couple of pounds I mean gold that can set someone up help pay towards a deposit for a mortgage can't it and then I worked in a shop called the evolution shop that used to sell different things and I also did a course which involved oils which I'd never done before so I did this holistic therapy course in 2003 which included massage aromatherapy reflexology now the massage I did most of the course I didn't finish the course but I basically was just ready to do the exam for the massage did lots of practice for that the aromatherapy I was I was interested in that because this was part of the massage but using you know oils but the I quite like the idea of having mixing stuff up to be useful to help people so I did I made some stuff up for my nan for a shoulder did some for my dad's piles did did um and I mixed some stuff up for myself to sort of try and calm me down sorry I'm just being childish but I had this hanky and I would like to sprinkle some of this oil on and to calm myself down at work because and I must have done this before so I'm just thinking I started that course I started that course in September 2003 and I left my job in November 2003 and I know that I was had a handkerchief that I was sniffing which I know it's the opposite to what you're supposed to do with a handkerchief but I was sniffing a handkerchief with oils on the beginning of 2003 before I even knew what oils was well you know I mean like aromatherapy and stuff so I must have got them from the evolution shop because I used to go in there quite regular ah see yeah because I was going to the buddhist center you see so I kind of the evolution shop was downstairs run by the buddhists and anyway frankincense I couldn't believe how lovely frankincense smells oh wow now I don't know if you ever smelt it but it when you might think it's you might not like it but I really liked it and I started smelling these different oils because I used to go into evolution and just have a little sniff around them and it's like wow some of them weren't proper oils and they were like yeah different oils yeah oils that you could burn to make the area smell nice so I used to do that I used to like in my flat I'd have like an oil burner something perhaps I should do again actually to make this place smell a bit nicer be calmer and had incest which used to burn as well but that's not good for me that's too smoky now I used to love incest but I don't know why I just started getting on my chest yeah and then you got the you got the oil oils the actual proper oils which you can mix up with oh what was it um I guess like body oil is it olive oil or whatever that you use for massaging and I can't remember it's such a long time ago and mix that up with it's like having a base mixing it up with the other oils to make it safe to put on your skin and they always smell lovely that's making me want to go and do it wow yeah I think that could be something because in the past well everything kind of happened in the past didn't it I don't know why I'm sort of specifically focusing on that but whenever I've got interested in a subject whether it be reflexology, aromatherapy, massage, hypnosis, NLP, Buddhism, website building, psychology, counseling, the beat generation, poetry, stand-up comedy, you know whatever I have a habit of going all out in getting as much information as I can buying every book possible every book dvd or videotape audiotape whatever so you know with the comedy it was loads of albums loads of videotapes I had loads a real nice collection yes this is like in the before 1990 then after 1990 because I sold it all after 1990 I did I still had a collection of tapes that I was collecting when I moved to London but I stopped collecting I didn't collect kind of the way I used to with the with the stand-up stuff but then Buddhism loads of books loads and loads of books I had a really good Buddhist collection of books and and then I sold them in 95 because I was homeless and I went and moved to lived in Butlins for Christmas so I just I sold that and sold those books I kept one but one I still got but I've had I've had Buddhist books since then because when I got involved in a Buddhist center like that like in the town I used to live in I just went all out and I bought I must have had about 100 plus Buddhist books and then I if I yeah I think I donated them to the Buddhist center I'm trying to think what other things I when I was really interested in the beat generation I was buying you know book after book about that so I had some books about the beat generation but then a lot of them were the actual books written by the people like Burroughs Burroughs Dharma Bums On The Road or Alan Ginsberg Howl that was all weird I'll be honest I read Howl I had no idea what I was reading because I was sober and I just didn't that's the thing they were all off their heads when they were writing these things Burroughs Off The Road Man he he was alcohol not anything else really but he had the Junkie what was his name the book was called Junkie Burroughs I've just gone out of my day there was so many it was quite a few and they all knew each other and they some of them would write about each other and they'd talk about what life was like in the 50s you know riding the railways having no money and then traveling up and living in places where it was really really cheap to live um and then writing and they just they seemed to help each other out William Burroughs now I'm thinking of the wrong one William Burroughs was Junkie Off The Road was someone else On The Road rather On The Road yes William Burroughs did I read I had a few of his books On The Road his his head his head his his name's gone out of my head but I had some of his books I remember the type I remember the cover of that one On The Road Dharma Bums I mean some of the the lingo or the Jenga what you want to call it you know like um the the way they were talking is very different from the way that I talked very jazzy the way kind of a jazzy way of talking like hippie-ish and I guess in a way they were the the original hippies the psychedelic kind of movement in before the 60s and then they became famous in the 60s and they kind of led the way to you know people like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan were I think quite influenced by the beat generation and I think Bob Dylan especially but they'd like hang out with some of these people like Allen Ginsberg because he was a he's a really famous author and I'm trying to think of a book he wrote I could just research I could look at it now but I can't be bothered the computer's all the way over there oh there it is but anyway there's a lot of them there wasn't a huge amount of them but there was there was a it was a bunch of really famous ones and then there was others that were kind of not as famous but maybe had one successful book and along the way because I went to this I guess you class it as a head shop in the West End in London or like near Soho I guess and I was looking through because you get all these old magazines from the 50s and uh behind a whole beat generation section because I didn't even know what beat generation was and until I started looking at it and reading it and I knew about On The Road I'd heard about that because it's a very famous book and in that same section there was books by Charles Bukowski called Post Office that's one of the books it was in there it was a very famous book in America I don't know about this country and it's like yeah okay but a lot of the books black black swallow or black something press made some a lot of his books they're very plain books nice covers but plain no like um pictures particularly just no no pictures of him just I think it's black swallow press and apparently Charles Bukowski he worked in the post office hence the name post office for his book first book but before that he he used to write articles and I think he wrote other books as well but he wrote poetry and short stories I think it was stories of a dirty old man was one of the things he did and he'd send it to some magazines and one magazine picked it up and did he got it was successful successful and the person in who owned black sparrow press not all of this might be true but this is what I understand happened he he really liked what Charles Bukowski was doing but Charles Bukowski refused to leave his post office job because he needed the security of regular income so the bloke in charge who owned this the press place said to him okay what I do for you if you leave your job I will guarantee you a certain amount of money minimum every year forever um obviously you need to keep writing books and you'll get you get money from them as well but um I'll make sure that you you know you're you're covered for what you I think just it's like I'll make sure you get exactly what you're getting now or maybe more and then you get obviously get paid extra for when you you get you what do they call it from the books when they sell and eventually Charles Bukowski gave in so he left his job when he was about 50 and he spent the next 25 years being pretty famous he's had a few of his books turned into movies uh it's this is really weird right okay now I'm not I'm not really into picking on people's appearances even he would and I'll admit I know i'm not a pretty boy he was not a pretty man like facially physically pretty he wasn't and and he he said that himself and no one would argue that listen it's not like a bad thing I'm saying but they did two movies about him and they they basically chose the prettiest actors to play him so Matt Dillon is it Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke like when Mickey Rourke was a sex symbol so Mickey Rourke the handsomest actor in Hollywood at the time it was the film was called barfly Sean Penn was gonna play him in fact Sean Penn met him made friends of him he was gonna be playing him in a movie that never happened but is it Matt Dillon I have to check this because I don't want to be the right Matt Dillon who looks the same now he's always looked like 50 years about 70 years old and he looks it's ridiculous I mean how can someone look that good he's 62 okay he's not 70 but he's you know so he played he played Charles Bukowski I forget the name of the movie let's have a look I'll find it in the next couple of seconds it's going back in the 2000s I do believe factotum so he played Henry Chinensky it just I mean to be fair they put pick two really good actors to play him in the movies but they and there was a degree of I think with Mickey Rourke there was a degree of danger with him you know when he was he was very a smoking like a walking smoking gun wasn't he when he was in his movies so there's a degree of like oh so he had that but Charles Bukowski I don't know they need it it'd be fair they weren't playing Charles Bukowski they were playing his character from the books Henry Chinensky so Henry Chinensky was the name of him he's basically talking about himself probably adding a bit of extra stuff on so Henry Chinensky was Charles Bukowski in his books and so Matt Dillon and what's his name played Henry Chinensky so what they weren't playing him now he was I don't think he was even around to see the post office not the post office and Barfly Barfly Barfly the film that came out in 1987 oh yes he was 1987 he so if you want to if you want to kind of see the the lifestyle or the kind of thing that Charles Bukowski used to write about Barfly is kind of a good a good version of that Factotum I'm just trying to think your post office women is it Factotum is that the three there's three books he did that were kind of I don't know if there was necessarily like together but he I think yeah let's have a look Charles Bukowski I don't know why but I got so into because I was thinking about him the other day and I talked about mentioned him the other day he did a lot of books so he was born 1920 and he left in 1994 so he was 74 years old he was to say he was a heavy drinker is an understatement it's not doing him justice but he he was kind of born as like a Russian German then he moved to America and his dad was whatever so there's a lot of stuff going on there they're saying the movement was dirty realism and transgressive fiction dirty realism occupation poet novelist short story writer columnist okay apparently the FBI kept a file on him as a result of his columns column notes of a dirty old man in the underground newspaper Open City oh look at this look at this so he wrote thousands of poems hundreds of short stories and six novels eventually publishing over 60 books during the course of his career including his poems written before jumping out of an eight-story window published by his friend and fellow poet Charles Potts and burning in water drowning in flame his poems and stories were published by John Martins Black Sparrow Press did I say Black Sparrow that's not a bad memory is it it's now called Harper Collins really blimey that's that's a famous thing isn't it as collected volumes as work he there's some videos of him on YouTube reading his poems and he basically he just sits at the front and it's very rowdy crowd I think it was a lot of it was students he'd go to student you know universities and all the university circuit in America so he's probably getting paid quite well and he'd just sit there with some bottles of beer and it just read his poems and the thing about it is in my opinion of course the poems I liked his poems I had quite a few of his poetry books I can't imagine anyone else reading them but him his voice was the proper voice for those poems now I used to read them myself and it was my voice I was hearing them in because I didn't know what he sounded like but once I heard him speaking it's like yeah that's the correct tone that's what was missing not that I didn't I didn't feel it I think at the time I didn't think there's anything missing when I was reading but once I heard and saw him talking and reading the poems himself so wow that just made it in some ways more powerful but I guess in another way distract is a distraction because he's there and he's you know yeah reading his books in my little room upstairs in Stratford in 92 93 I probably didn't need his voice my voice did it you know my internal weather but I think if I was to read it now I would hear his voice or a version of his voice reading because he had like a drawl like a real um just if you gotta hear it to kind of I can't really explain it really but it suited what he did and after reading some of his books seeing him in person it wasn't a disappointment because he matched like his demeanor the way he talked the way he looked the way he smiled his physical appearance matched exactly the way he presented himself in the books so he never presented himself as being mr.

handsome or anything like that he was kind of like a wino really that was a lot of his books where he was just when things were going well at his best he was drinking all night and then going to the races during the day to be drinking all night and writing then going to the race going to sleep and then getting up and going to the races that was his day that was his he's living his best life and he had a car and he had an apartment and he used to typewriter and probably had an apartment or something and occasionally had girlfriends and stuff but that that was the way he described his life but then what I remember in a later book he said he said he gets a lot of mail from fans and he says some of you reading this probably think no no I think he might said that in this talk yeah I think he said it on stage when he was doing his thing people send letters thinking that I live in this horrible apartment and you know because that's how he described his life and dirty apartment with cans of empty beer all on the floor and and they could just come and just put a letter through the letterbox what they don't realize is and then he'd start describing this big house with a gated fence and a big walkway and like nothing like what he kind of portrayed himself in a sense how he was living so he was living not so much a mention but it was probably a really nice nice place that he lived in a nice house and he's kind of smirking as he was saying it so I think there's a sense of like it felt quite good about it that he'd gone from being because he was sleeping rough for years apparently before he got the post office job he was born during the depression in America we was no it's an adult during the depression in America so he was born in 1920 so in the 1930s when he left school there was no work and I'm not sure if he went to if he went to war or not but during the 40s there wasn't a lot either was there especially during like during the war part and then the 50s that wasn't easy and in the 60s so he kind of I guess he was writing from an early age from like the age like late teenager I think he was writing then he stopped for a while because he was pretty much just traveling around on railway on the railway they call it hobos I think back then and didn't know what his next meal was coming didn't you know just just kept traveling around and he all he wanted was a room and a typewriter and a table a desk to sit at and I don't think he I'm not sure even if he had a television yeah I've never been there I didn't visit did I he is someone that I quite would have liked to visit like to met but I'm not sure if we'd have got on I just I've seen some interviews where he was being wasn't being very friendly to the interviewer so I don't know I mean maybe it was a character that he felt he had to play being the bad guy but he was definitely a tough man and but very soft when it came to writing like I don't know he could get through to the I guess not soft in some ways but I'd say his poetry was much more softer than his writing you know his stories I might as well look at the find the others now mightn't I William Burroughs so on the road Jack Kerouac the Dharma bums another one Jack Kerouac that was Jack Kerouac I was trying to think of Burroughs so William Burroughs William S Burroughs he he basically right I used to be interested in this side of life I'm not anymore to be honest with you see the darker side of living so I kind of mmm yeah I'm just just not really my thing anymore but I was interested in it when I was in my 20s so so William Burroughs he did one of his most famous books he did was called Junkie and which is pretty self-explanatory really to be fair but he did do Naked Lunch I think Naked Lunch is probably his most famous one actually what am I talking about of course it is gotta be in it Cities of the Red Knight that was another really famous one the Place of Dead Roads so he was classed as beat literature satire surrealism so if you go to the beat generation here's a list of people so Allen Ginsberg who I mentioned earlier earlier on it explains it this is Wikipedia the beat generation was a literary literary subculture movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in post World War two and Cold War eras the bulk of their work was published and popularized by members of the silent generation in the 50s better known as beatniks the central element of beat culture are the rejection of standard narrative values making a spiritual quest the explanation of American and Eastern religions and the rejection of economic materialism explicit portrayals of the human condition and experimental intention with certain aspects of life so William Ginsberg for Allen Ginsberg Howl was his big one these are some of the big the big ones William S Burroughs Naked Lunch Jack Kerouac's On The Road they're three of the biggest books from the beat generation but then there's other people at Herbert Hunk Lucien Carr I'm just having a look see what books I can try and find Lawrence Fellinghetti yeah blimey he did one about it I'm sure he had a poem called bomb or a book called bomb something like that Lawrence Fellinghetti Caroline Cassidy I forgot about all these people so Lawrence Fellinghetti of the New City City Lights bookstore started to pocket poets series in 55 William Carlos Williams Wow these are names I've not heard for years we didn't have the internet back then Gary Snyder Wow Wow so I had a lot of these books I can't can't tell you exactly the different books I had if I'm honest with you I thought it might give a literary legacy all people connected to the beat writers was Ken Kesey who wrote One Over The Cuckoo's Nest I think Charles Wachowski isn't he's not classed as a beat generation but he was kind of part of that generation but he he wasn't interested in what they were doing that makes sense he wanted to do his own thing I mean people that were influenced Jim Morrissey cites Kararac as his biggest influence as Jim Morrissey from the Doors Ginsberg was a close friends of Bob Dylan told you told you the Beatles even put William S Burroughs on the cover of their album Sgt.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band yeah John Lennon was a big fan of John Kararac Jack Kararac Burroughs was a friend of Mick Jagger Lou Reed David Bowie and Patti Smith I just read so it's funny I can't read it out so there's a lot of people like R. E. M. Kurt Cobain Sonic Youth Ministry that have been influenced by them I'm just trying to think the beat generation films cheers Vinnie apparent the big sir these are some films that are classed to be like beat generation films Bell, Book and Candle the beat generation that's 58-59 Bucket of Blood the Subterraneans Naked Lunch Solid Marriage and Axe Murderer I thought that was a comedy and then he got one Big Sir Corso the last beat on the road 2012 movie The Beat Hotel I'll look at Ferlinghetti the reason for that is because I want to know what he wrote there was a book he wrote or there was a poetry I had it I used to have it paintings awards in popular culture bibliography to Mexico night back to love is a light city lights rocket poets anthology life studies how to paint sunlight these are my rivers can't find it I think it might just been a book of poems but one of them yeah Wow I think it was back roads to far towns after basho love is no stone on the moon that's annoying but it's on if I'm going back because this was in the early 90s there's a lot of books written after that who are we now 1976 might be that the secret meaning of things 1970 might be that one pictures of the gone world that was 95 I'm a nice 955 I don't know 1,000 fearful words for Fidel Castro 1961 okay I'm what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna see if I can find the poem because I'm sure it was called the bomb oh there was a poem there is something is he did he did something called regarding a bomb poem hunter Lauren's Ferlinghetti best poems okay let me find it a fast bird or two way do I consent or constantly isn't it with these things popping up on a computer a vast confusion bird with two right wings constantly risking absurdity dove stat amour I am waiting in Golden Gate Park that day London cross-figured number 20 number eight people getting divorced pity the nation recipe for happiness carbovirus or anyplace can't meet that ski seascape with Sun and an eagle sometime during eternity the penny candy store beyond the L the plow the plow of time underwear will dreams of a new beginning I'm thinking okay right maybe it wasn't him that's all I'm thinking okay Gregory Corso I think it was Gregory Corso wrote the bomb okay blimey Gregory Corso wrote the bomb reflected on Instructure Power bombs and my both posts so Annie Ginsberg did one as well hum bomb but Gregory Corso I used to have that yeah so I got the wrong I got the wrong one the wrong poet it wasn't Ferlinghetti it was Gregory Corso I wonder if it's here to read it is the Annie Ginsberg I don't want to read Annie Ginsberg sorry I just realized I just showed you that I'm not a big fan of Annie Ginsberg I liked no I don't dislike it I just I just like this one Gregory some of Annie Ginsberg's poems I struggled with Hal was like his big long poem and I really I think it was a like a love letter to his mum and he spent all night writing it and there was just one big sentence basically and yeah I'm just not sophisticated enough to really appreciate it that's the problem is yeah I put maybe it's just not intelligent enough to kind of understand what he was saying but whatever it is I didn't I couldn't get into it I mean it wasn't the kind of thing that you would read yes it wasn't kind of thing that you would read as a novel or as a like excitement about what's gonna happen next I guess it's an experience but alright so it is a poem budger of history break of time you bomb toy of universe grandest of snatched sky I cannot hate you do I hate the mischievous Thunderbolt the jawbone of an ass or ass the bumpy club of 1,000,000 BC the mace the flail the axe catapult da Vinci tomahawk cock chise flintlock kid dagger rathbone right yeah I'm not gonna read it cuz it's it's okay it does that then it goes into the actual thing Wow this is powerful powerful powerful I'm not gonna read it out that's not really what I do on these recordings but and if you want to read it it's it's called the bomb the bomb as Gregory Corso blimey I'm gonna save this I want to read that later what's going on here save it save thank you very yeah blimey anyway so I'm just gonna get the feeling that I'm just wasting time leading up to sort of going out and getting the old thing done got five less than five hours now four hours and 45 minutes so what I'll do is I'll order a taxi at one o'clock so it's nine o'clock now I'll take Vinny out then I'll get back have something to eat at 10 and then at one o'clock I'll have a shower or something then at one o'clock I'll order a taxi to take me straight there and then the doggie over the fence a cute little doggie will he's blowing kisses to you saying hi to everyone by the way see he wanted every he wants to be included in the thing his name is Benny he wants to be included in the podcast it's like include me please uncle JJ okay so he's saying can you I want to say can you say hello to everyone for me okay hello so I'm gonna head off this has been a nice distraction I'll be honest with you a nice distraction I just so you're focusing on you just you I'll be focusing on what I'm talking about and yeah I could probably talk for a few more hours I'm not going to and I don't know if I'll make a recording later I'm not sure if I'll be able to do a Monday's boring objects it really does depend on how I feel thinking about I probably could have done that this morning couldn't I but I just wanted to have a chat really just have a little chat you know no agenda just hi here's what's going on here's what I'm doing another expensive day it's like I can't leave the house without it costing money so we've got two for 40 quid in taxis and then another 16 pound for the medication it's 56 pound try to think do I need anything from this because I could get something from the supermarket while I'm out I've got enough milk maybe some breakfast cereal I don't think there is actually I don't think there's really much I need that's good I was thinking about having a look look in the library find my old library ticket and if I'm not in any kind of if my mouth feels okay maybe go into the library and see if they'll renew my library ticket because I've not used it for probably 15 years okay not that long probably since 2012 that's 14 years isn't it blimey see yeah that's what I might do and then I can test out my glasses my new reading glasses they're still in the case not even left the case yet and guess what I got three different lenses I've got three different glasses one for reading computer work and for distance I specifically got white frames for the reading ones so that I can tell the difference between the ones yeah I thought at the time I was getting two different colored frames for the distance and for the computer work when I put them next to each other they look the same the only difference is the ones that I take out for distance I've got a blue tint in them but from a distance they look the same like very close up you can see they're different so that's the problem I was looking at and thinking oh it's blue but it's blue inside of a black case so when I've got my glasses off looking for the right glasses to wear they both look the same to me you know I mean okay Vinny are you hungry do you want dindins that was a yes wasn't it I'm sure we nodded yes just then come on then let's get you dindins well thank you for listening have a great day and I'll update you later on what's happened hopefully everything will be brilliant it's a lovely bright day outside and so yeah cool so remember remember remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself you deserve to feel safe lots of love bye say goodbye Vinny say goodbye kisses daddy kisses oh you love your daddy I love you
