i'm having fun now

Every time I saw him, I thought he was riveting and that he established a kind of intimacy with the audience. Howl became an elegy over time, for all those people, but in 56 or 57 it was an indictment of everything that was wrong, an angry, passionate poem and he was like a revolutionary firebrand. One thing I always loved about Allen was his voice. It was very mellow but he could modulate it in all sorts of ways. There was something very attractive and engaging about him.
