Angel-headed Hipsters

I'm watching Howl, a film about Allen Ginsberg's poem and the subsequent trial after it was published in 1956:



He was more than a little screwed up, but it is a good film and Ginsberg had a certain endearing geekiness to him, which I quite liked. Also James Franco is so like Ginsberg in looks, manner and voice it's difficult to say where one ends and the other begins, as in the final scene where it's actually Ginsberg singing, rather than Franco.
