Ginsberg was a pedo and there's a video of him reading a smut poem to a room full of pedophiles at a NAMBLA conference (of which he was a member). Pic-related. He even introduced himself by holding up a stick mask of a child's face and saying 'I'm the poet Allan Ginsberg."

Not really. You could always purchase copies of their work and censorship was mostly geared towards pornography produced not for art but for the explicit purpose of gooning.

Anyway, local censors were onto something when it came to banning the beats (as evidence by pic-related of Allen Ginsberg reading a smut poem at a pedophile conference).

He wasn't though. There's footage of him reading a sexually graphic poem to a room full of fellow pedophiles at a NAMBLA conference.

Reminder that Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA and read erotic poetry at their conferences.

(FYI Allen Ginsberg was a pedo and he's in that doc).

This is correct. Burroughs is the exception and Ginsberg was the worst of them.

You're supposed to go through your Beats phase as a teenager (early 20s tops). The later it happens the more likely one is to be an insufferable pseud. Check out The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test if you want to hate hippies.

It's age-restricted so I can't time stamp it. He's at 11min20secs.
