I’d heard Corso and Kaufman read before, a must see reading at the Art Institute, but twenty years earlier, not that night. Kaufman was incoherent, Corso bombastic, yet the audience cheered. I threatened to fill a waste can at City Lights with their books and lay a turd on top.

Saw Kaufman read, along w/Corso Ferlinghetti, et al. long ago. Kaufman started draining his bottle(s) from the moment he stepped into the place, and by the time he got "up" to read, he was incoherent, and slobbering onto the stage.
