A short clip for poem punk rock by allen ginsberg

For over two decades, international photojournalist David Alexander Bjorkman has trained his camera lens on events and places of interest to him, interpreting their reality through his unique perspective and capturing their images in the simple dignity of a black and white photograph. "Minute Observations" is a collection of some of his favorite images: Steven Seagal teaching in his dojo before his movie career: the Late Timothy Leary throwing a fake punch at G. Gordon Liddy who is flashing a fake peace sign; the late Tiny Tim singing; the late Allen Ginsberg reading poetry; a young Robin Williams being filmed as Mork; Simon and Garfunkel singing; former Sandinista hero Eden Pastora exalting his troops; Babba Ram Dass speaking to college students; Choco Chief Antonio Zarco who taught the original astronauts jungle survival in the Darien Jungle of Panama hunting for food; donkey drivers on the Greek island of Santorini; bodyguards in training in Aspen, Colorado; Contra soldiers in the southern Nicaragua jungle; camel drivers on Egypt's Giza Plateau; Maya in the ancient city of Chichicastenango, Guatemala; the Bloods and Crips gangs in Los Angeles; Spring Equinox pilgrims in Chichen Itza, Mexico; Carhenge, America's answer to Stonehenge in Alliance, Nebraska; ballplayers playing the Maya Ballgame in Quintana Roo, Mexico; Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Antigua, Guatemala; anti-nuclear and anti-CIA protesters in Boulder, Colorado; microbrewers; tortilla makers; covert bungee jumpers; teddy bears; Maya pyramids; S.W.A.T. Olympics; mercenaries; and artists and native people at work. What connects all of these diverse subjects is that they were seen, for a split second, by the eye of his camera.

ENG: look at it, you'll understand... ;) /////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////// IT: il mio piccolo tributo a Bob Dylan. Video ispirato a quello di 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'. Sui miei fogli compare un testo che ha poco a che fare con quello vero di 'How She Took That Bullet' ma che si pronuncia in maniera pressochè identica. Oltre alla storia di cui canto, nel video ce n'è, dunque, una parallela che potete leggere sui foglietti (i sottotitoli si riferiscono alle vere lyrics). ...due storie...ed un unico finale per entrambe...

For words: http://www.plagiarist.com/poetry/?wid=3744 This was written by the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. A God in his own mind. A tribute to someone I never met nor knew.

This homage to Bob Dylan's seminal "Subterranean Homesick Blues" video (which was part of the documentary Don't Look Back) was filmed in an alley in downtown L.A.,with Bermuda Schwartz playing the Allen Ginsberg part and Jay Levey playing the other guy. It was shot as part of an "AL-TV" special that aired on VH1 ten days later. (Shot 6/7/03) directed by Al Yankovic
