...Sick Rose" is one of Blake's finest poems, and it is also the short masterpiece of this album. With guitar and organ, Ginsberg performs the song with an exotic, perhaps Arabian, sound. Its simple imagery takes on allegorical power subtly symbolizing the corruption that disillusioning experience tells us must lie in every rose. Gnisberg says it nicely: "What's the Rose? Genital Flowers? Body Life? God? What's the Worm? Cancer Syphilis? Mind Time? Death?" The song suggests all of this, and much more...
...Marxist who has sought to work through the constitutional framework, and he has promised to "guarantee democratic rights and respect individual freedoms" (see box). But he has also vowed to expropriate the right-wing newspaper El Mercurio, leading Chileans to speculate cynically that El Siglo, the Communist party organ, will soon become the best-read paper in the country, and, they say "it will be printed on better presses too-Mercurio's."

They even seem to be smiling. The more I give to this environment, the more I accept...
...Sunday morning, the movie theater on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood is packed. The front rows are filled with a red-robed choir of men and women. Hymnals are distributed; an organ plays. By Hollywood standards, the congregation is run-of-the-mill: middle-aged businessmen, a few boys in rainbow-hued bellbottoms, muscular types in T shirts, women in assorted styles of pants or skirts, a few motorcycle boys in mustaches and black leather. Whites, blacks, Orientals, Chicanos. Prayers are read. From a chair at the side, a husky 30-year-old man in vestments abruptly rises, steps swiftly...
